Seeking sponsorship for the print version of my O-book!

Hello, Dear Orienteers!

I'm currently working on the second part of the 'Confident Orienteering' practical guide - Book 2. I plan to release it by the end of 2024. The entire team that worked on Book 1 is still involved in the project, and I am immensely grateful to them for their ongoing support. Without their help, this project wouldn't have come this far.

The book was originally released in English less than 5 months ago, and people from 40 countries have already bought it. Additionally, it now has versions available in French and Ukrainian. Versions in Danish and Polish are expected very soon (within a few weeks). Currently, all of these versions are digital formats, except for the French version, which is also available in print thanks to translator Fabrice Laperque.

I'm inspired by the look of the printed version of the first book and plan to release a print version of the original guide as well. As a potential option, I'm looking for sponsors who might want to place their advertising on the pages of this guide.

Furthermore, you can watch a video showcasing the French version of Book 1. It features numerous pictures, excellent paper quality, and a convenient format.

If you have any suggestions or questions, please contact me at the following contacts:

Two new o-books are coming this fall!

Two new o-books are coming this fall! Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors Book 1: Fundamentals was released in October 2023 and has already been translated into 7 languages , alongside the original English version. It had 8 chapters and 140 pages , and I’m still amazed at how warmly it was received by orienteers all over the world. 🌍 As we continued working on the next part of this complete practical guide , it became clear the project had grown into something massive — not least because of the huge number of examples and illustrations included throughout (they are about 250). At this stage, we’re leaning towards splitting the material into two logical volumes to make it easier for readers to absorb step by step. This isn’t a final decision yet, and even the titles below are working titles – but right now, this feels like the most reader-friendly approach: 📖 Book 2 (working title): Planning Reliable Routes – how to design routes that accoun...

Book 2 Nears the Finish Line

Book 2 Nears the Finish Line Editors Ross Barnett and Clive Allen are now in the final stage of polishing Confident Orienteering Book 2: Planning Reliable Routes . Ross has already done two full read-throughs, which put me on an emotional high – and it’s still going! Clive has started the final proofread before layout. My wife, Svetlana (the book designer), and I are wrapping up the explanatory graphics for the illustrations. The test readers have also finished reading all the chapters. I’ll share their feedback once we start the layout phase. If all goes well, in about two weeks we’ll begin laying out Book 2. The goal is to release it in late September or early October. Fingers crossed everything runs smoothly in these last weeks. Work on Book 3 (Routes executing) is also moving fast. Only two chapters are left – and then the whole Practical Guide 'Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors' will be complete. Editing is already underway on...
