Calling librarians and library staff
Fiction Uncovered recognises that libraries share the aim of bringing quality writing to a wider audience. We’d love library staff to join Tibor Fischer, Alex Clark, James Meek, Paul Murray, Stuart Evers and others on the Fiction Uncovered website. Help us champion great British fiction by writing about a book or an author that deserves to be celebrated! Contact Fiction Uncovered on [email protected].
About Fiction Uncovered
Founded in 2011, Fiction Uncovered is an Arts Council-funded initiative which celebrates our best British fiction writers. The promotion creates the opportunity for eight British fiction writers (novels, short stories, graphic novels) to be part of a major promotion supported by retailers, and a major publicity and marketing campaign.
Reading groups and book clubs will be reading and reviewing this year’s Fiction Uncovered titles – so come back soon to see what they think and add your views if you’ve read any of the titles.
