From the author
Half a minute on this
The same voice as the book, shorter.
What to Write, When to Write It, and What Never to Send.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You have typed and deleted the same message four times.
- A conversation that was going well died and you do not know at which message.
- You wait before replying so as not to seem keen, and you feel ridiculous.
- Something you sent at midnight is still in your head.
What this book is
A book about messages at every stage: before the first date, from screen to real life, inside a relationship, and when it goes wrong.
What it is not
A set of lines to copy. The examples are there to show the shape, not to be sent word for word.
What is inside
Part I. Before the first date
Part II. From screen to real life
Part III. Texting in a relationship
Part IV. When messages go wrong
Part V. Endings and fresh starts
And then. Appendices with the practical material, a glossary of the terms used, further reading, and where to get help.

How do I receive the book?
Is the translation a machine translation?
Will it show up on my bank statement?
If you are afraid of your partner, start somewhere else.
If you have been threatened, hurt or controlled, or you think that raising this could put you or your children at risk, contact your local emergency number or a domestic violence service before anything else. Your safety comes before any question these books discuss.
