Quick Reads
What are Quick Reads?
Quick Reads are fast-paced, bite-sized books by bestselling writers and celebrities especially written for adults who find books difficult or unengaging, or for avid readers, simply wanting a short, fast read.
It is major collaboration between writers, leading publishers, BBC RaW, the Department for Innovation, Universites and Skills, the Arts Council, unionlearn and many more.
On World Book Day, 6th March 2008, ten new Quick Reads will be published from Chris Ryan, Josephine Cox, Gordon Ramsay, Gilda O’Neill, Adele Parks, Colin Jackson, Scott Quinnell and John Bird. There’s also a collection of short stories, RaW Stories of Hardship and Hope from BBC RaW, edited by Vanessa Felz, and a brand-new Doctor Who book.
