-[note from maja: i know i've expanded this too much, so it needs re-compacting and probably renaming. i also wonder how much of it needs to be a part of the pitch, and whether we could just include a link to the descriptions of the worlds?] +As a possible way of structuring the [[pitch|Grow Your Own Worlds]] publication, we organised its themes and content into several “worlds” that broadly represent our foci of interest and serve, loosely, as the book’s “chapters” (at the moment).
