Issy Coldbeck asked Jack Edwards:

how did you start planning for the book and deciding what to put in?

Jack Edwards I crafted a 'contents' page before I started writing, as the structure of this book requires quite defined sections which were individual entities. I'd update and reevaluate this document every time I did any writing, moving articles around and working out how to fill the gaps. Also, as this book is specifically about university, ideas for new sections came largely from my daily, lived experience. I did the vast majority of writing in the third year of my degree, but also took a lot of inspiration from the time just before this, when my brother was preparing to start his own freshers year. It was very much a work-in-progress for a long time!
