Working with World Book Day

Publishers are vital to World Book Day. Thanks to you, World Book Day can bring the transformative power of reading for fun to more children and young people.

Be part of the fun!

World Book Day is a joyful celebration of reading for fun. As a charity, we rely on the
energy, ideas and support of publishers and their authors and publishers. Together, let’s
