In the Author's Own Words

In the Author’s Own Words is a fresh approach to book coverage on teachonline.ca that replaces traditional reviews with something more engaging: a hybrid of review and interview built in direct collaboration with the author.

In the age of AI, it’s more important than ever to humanize our content so readers can connect with the person behind the ideas.

Each In the Author’s Own Words feature is defined by three characteristics:

It is co-created with the author — their voice is central to the piece
It treats books as starting points for conversation — not endpoints for critique
It offers a more human, engaging reading experience — grounded in direct exchange

Each feature includes:

Three direct questions from Contact North | Contact Nord, with the author’s written responses
A short contextual review to frame the exchange

This series shares thoughtful conversations with the people doing the thinking and writing and invites our readers into the dialogue.
