Publisher
Publisher support for our 'free books' reading programmes enables us to deliver a broad range of high-quality books and resources directly into the hands of those who benefit the most. Booktrust's literary promotions and prizes including the Children's Laureate, help to bring awareness and attention to different authors and genres, from short story collections and translated fiction to picture books.
