Get involved with the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction 2015

We have a fantastic opportunity for reading groups to shadow the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. We are looking to recruit 12 reading groups from across the UK.

Each participating group will receive a set (10 books) of one of the shortlisted titles once the shortlist is announced on 13 April, as well as an exclusive Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction reading pack with bookmarks, bookplates, bunting and a bottle of Baileys!

In return, we will ask you to tell us a little bit about your group, share your reviews and opinions about the title you are given, and share your experiences with the prize on social media – Twitter, Facebook and Google+. We will hold a special poll to find out who our reading groups want to win – will your title be the winner?

We’d love a wide range of groups to apply. Even if you are not selected we’ll have lots of information about other ways to participate so please do submit an entry so we know how to get in touch with you.

Get involved

To apply to take part simply join Reading Groups for Everyone if you’ve not already done so and fill in this short form. The deadline for entries is 2 April.

We expect this offer to be popular but will let the selected groups know a few days after the closing date.

The longlist has now been announced and you can find out all of the titles chosen on The Reading Agency website

You can also vote for your dream shortlist on our Facebook page.

Terms and conditions

By agreeing to take part you’ll agree for us to share content that you post on Reading Groups for Everyone with the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction website and their social channels including Twitter, Facebook and Google+ pages. We won’t share your contact details with any other parties.
