My first book, What I Want to Talk About, was published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in September 2022, and my second book, Untypical, was published by HarperCollins in March 2023.

They do have pros and cons and can be a bit stressful to navigate sometimes, so please allow yourself plenty time to get logged in before the group starts - it's fine to join a bit early as you'll just see a virtual 'waiting room' screen until the group starts and the host lets everyone in at once.</p><p><br></p><p>&gt; When registering to attend, please do use the name you feel most comfortable - this does not need to match your ID or other documents.</p><p><br></p><p>Remember to check when you are using Zoom to join the meeting that your zoom screen name also matches the name you wish to use in the group. You have control to change that to the name you want and also to add your pronouns if you want to - you can change this in your zoom account settings any time and you can also edit while you are in the waiting room before the meeting starts (or during the meeting).</p><p><br></p><p>&gt; Closed Captions are available and you can control whether you want see them or not during the meeting.</p><p><br></p><p>If you have any questions or need any help accessing this online group, please get in touch: info@swanscotland.org</p><p>I f there is anything we can do to make the experience more accessible for you please do get in touch with us ahead of the webinar - info@swanscotland.org</p>
