Do you fancy being one of the 12 official reading groups shadowing the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction?
The Reading Agency is working with Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction to help reading groups get involved and shadow the prize.
We are looking for 12 reading groups from across the UK.
You’ll get a reading group set (10 books) of one of the shortlisted titles on the day after the shortlist is announced on 7 April.
In return we will ask you to tell us a little bit about your group and share your reviews and opinions about the title you are given. 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 March 28.
We expect this offer to be popular but will let the selected groups know a couple of days after the closing date. Read the terms and conditions.
