Prompt response to emails is also commendable. Received support for technical aspects (admin type things that I just could not get to grips with - page numbers etc.). Sending copies of resources to authors is an excellent idea as it is terrific seeing the finished product and it is sometimes easier to check a written resource rather than find errors on a screen."

Comments by Paul F an English and Citizenship ZigZag Author… "It's a vast improvement over conventional publishing, where everything takes forever, the person you're dealing with is always changing and there's no sense of enthusiasm. Here I get a quick, intelligent response from human beings who want learning materials to be interesting. A rare treat. I appreciate ZigZag's willingness to back ideas which I think are important but may have an uncertain return - gender roles, 9/11". Paul F 11 December 2002. |
