Press
Our press campaigns and close relationships with the media help us to be a national voice for books and reading through national, regional, broadcast and online coverage.
Booktrust's press office provides information on the latest prizes and events, interviews with key Booktrust spokespeople and partners, images, statistics and evaluation. Journalists come to us for expert opinion on a wide range of issues including access to books, reading for pleasure, health and wellbeing and literacy.
