The Island, for a group

a class · a team · an organization

A class, a team, the members of an organization: the tale is read aloud in twenty minutes, and each person can be given a copy.

This page is for two people. The one who has read The Island and wants to bring it up where they work: send this page, as it is, to the person who decides. And the one who decides for a class, a team or an organization: what you need to ask for a price is further down.

Either way, read it first. Twenty minutes, 7.99 CAD.

What a group can get

The Island is followed by twenty-four questions on three levels, with no answers. That is why people ask me for it for groups.

• Digital. For a group of adults, one copy per person, at the public price of 7.99 CAD. For a class, a licence. The files have no lock and come in English and in French.
• In print, on order. A softcover edition, in French only for now, printed in the quantity a group needs. Nothing is printed in advance: printing starts after payment.

Schools, colleges, libraries and public institutions in Québec: the provincial book act governs your purchases of printed books. For you, I suggest the digital edition, which can be bought directly.

The eight-page classroom guide stays free, for a class or for a group of adults.

The images in this book were made with an artificial intelligence program, under my direction. The tale itself was written without one. It is a choice, and the book puts it on the table: a twenty-seven-page workshop notebook shows the pictures that were set aside and asks twelve questions about what that is worth. The book does not settle it. Your group can. How this book was made.

Ask for a price

I answer myself, in writing, with a price.

1. You fill in the form. Two minutes.
2. I write to you within a week, with a price and the next steps.
3. If it suits you, you pay. Tell me if you need an invoice.
4. The digital edition is sent to you after payment. The printed edition is printed, then delivered to the agreed address.

Do not fill in:

Everything is needed to give you a price, except what is marked “optional”.
