Welcome to our new site!
28 November 2011
Welcome to our brand new Booktrust website, which is now four times the size and four times as interactive as our previous incarnation! We have amalgamated all our sites to turn the Booktrust site into a one-stop hub of enjoyment about books, reading and writing.
- We have trawled through all our hundreds of resources and collated them into an amazing resource finder for you.
- We've also redeveloped our Teen site too and have a brand new writing section where you will find tips, resources and all sorts.
- Also, we have made it easier for you to find the right book for you, your family or friends. How? Just use our new book finder to access your interests, be they genre, author or more.
You may find yourself looking for Booktrust Children's Books, Translated Fiction, The Short Story and Everybody Writes.
Never fear, for they are all here now.
We welcome teen author Bali Rai as our new online writer in residence. Have you read his manifesto for the residency? Help us help him to keep to his promises!
Enjoy the site!
Have a good look around and let us know what you think!
