As part of the InspiREAD Book Award, we are delighted to be inviting your primary school to join us for FREE virtual events with shortlisted authors – hooray!
These virtual author talks will give pupils a fantastic opportunity to engage with reading, meet the authors and ask their own questions!
The events are taking place on various days throughout June 2025. Each talk will last around 30-40 minutes.
Not participating in InspiREAD Book Award? Schools are still welcome to attend these wonderful events!
Schools need to register in advance to take part.
When registering for these events, please ensure:
- There will be a member of staff present with pupils during each event;
