      Sorry, I did not have time to read through all the pages. But can I find out who TAS is. Do they come up with creative writing books in general? Are the books sold at Popular? Thanks, would really appreciate some help as I find I can help my son in grammar, comprehension and all that but somehow when it comes to writing, I know what sounds good but I do not know how to 'teach' it. :?

            Hi TAS,


            Reading all those posts about how you all really care for the students makes
            me feel touched too..heehee although I am not you, I also feel touched.

            Anyway, just to add to the great feedback, I showed your book to a
            friend of mine (she is quite a high-flyer in an MNC) and she said that when
            she was in lower secondary, she could not even write like that. She said
            there is a real flair to the writing and there is a thought through system
            to the teaching. I also find that when I read (esp the one abt world war 2
            and the bees), I find the stories gripping. I want to find out what happens
            next. It is unlike most model essays where it is good but you are not
            interested to read on as the writing is not gripping enough.

            Thank you for coming up with this book. Can't wait for vol 2! :celebrate:
            Wow thanks littlewoman for your encouragement šŸ˜‰

              Hi TAS,


              I read the reviews of the book and would like very much to get one from you.

              The trouble is I do not stay in Singapore. My kids all can speak well but cannot write that well. I am at a loss regarding the teaching of writing.

              Would you sell your book online? Perhaps I could download it? šŸ˜„
              Oh at the moment, we do not sell it online. Sorry about that, perhaps
              you would like to get it when you are back in Singapore?

                    Hi TAS,


                    If I order 10 copies, how much is the delivery charges?

                    My kid's classmates' mothers want also. Wah, I go to the school, there was one mother raving about it and then now we have an order of 10. So sorry, can don't process my order first till we sort this out?

                    How many copies would we need to buy before you could come down and make a delivery? šŸ™

                      Hi smurfette3,

                      Actually, for schools, we do free delivery once they order 40 or more
                      copies. For those who order 100 or more copies, there is free
                      delivery plus 5 complimentary books.

                      And actually, we do not extend this to parents. However, since there
                      are a number of parents who have been asking about ordering in quantities of 10 and above, we will extend this to you-(ksp parents)

                      So if you order 40 or more, we will do a free delivery to one address.

                      If you order 100 or more, we will do a free delivery to one
                      address and also give 5 complimentary copies of the book.


                      The price for each book will remain the same as the price
                      you get when you order 10 copies which is $11.60

                      You can contact us to let us know what you want. šŸ˜‰

                      (We will update our marketplace thread on this)

                      As for parents asking about whether we have enough copies, we
                      have just started printing out more so there are enough.

                      TAS
