The team are currently very hard at work on the final proofread and edit of S4OL. What a learning experience! Who knew how many errors and typos could slip into a text unnoticed by three authors and an editor; who knew how complicated footnotes and referencing could get; who knew the scope for missing stuff and duplication of effort all at the same time! Anyway, we're definitely getting there and - mainly - still smiling. We're all so looking forward to actually seeing and holding a hard copy of the book - and then to the launch in Brighton at the (29th June - 1st July).

Meantime, Sarah Ditum writing in the Guardian discusses the need for feminist utopian thinking in a the context of an a seeming deluge of dystopian culture and literature at the moment. Her article echoes the issues we explore in Chapter 5 of S4OL, where we present street choir members imaginings of better futures. As David Bowie sang: " Please don't tear this world asunder / Please take back this fear we're under / I demand a better future (interesting remix by Air)
