The icebreaker was so fun this episode; I noticed a very large number of emdashes in this newsletter which seem very appropriate! Hearing you both nerd out is great. I can imagine a really cool freeze frame where we see Laskia leaning against the bar, staring right at the reader and crackling with intensity, with a blur of dancers freeze caught mid motion and out of focus around her. That said, I love Lauren’s idea with the beautiful reef imagery laid out across the double pages!
Ooh - some kind of vista of the Isles themselves for the endpapers. Perhaps where Selly, Leander and Keegan are crossing the reef with Laskia and Jude behind them? A wide shot that includes the Isles, the Reef, the water, and their small figures. Or if you're after a close-up, Selly and Leander eating at the market.
As soon as Kate asked the icebreaker, I immediately said "semi-colons" out loud to myself in the car.

So interesting! Semi-colons for the win. Also would NOT say no to an original Illuminae pass page giveaway 👀
genuinely thought the 'wf' proofreading mark was just a way for the proofreader to say 'what the fuck' at some points
