Finally, my work in a library

I've just started work on a very exciting project indeed. 26, the writers' collective of which I'm a member, is helping to create a poster exhibition as part of this year's London Design Festival.

26 writers are joining 26 members of the International Society of Typographical Designers to create 26 posters, each built around a letter of the alphabet. As of September, the posters will be exhibited for three months in the British Library. There will also be an accompanying book, with an article by each of the teams.

I've teamed up with Thomas Manss, of Thomas Manss & Company, to do X. (Which is clearly the best letter to do.) And we're in excellent company. Other writers involved include business writing guru John Simmons, Dan Germain of Innocent Drinks and Will Awdry of BMP DDB. The list of designers is just as impressive, including names like Vince Frost, Alan Fletcher and Michael Johnson.

Many of you have been helping with this project, by sending me your own thoughts on the meanings and associations of X. Thanks to everyone who responded to my email request. (If you didn't get it, or just haven't got around to replying, I'd be very grateful for any ruminations about X. It's all fuel to the fire, or grist to the mill, or something.)

No doubt you'll be itching to see what Thomas and I come up with, so I'll bring you more details of the exhibition as I get them.
