When first heard about World Book Night last year I got in a bit of a huff about it – the notion of giving books away, for free? Doesn’t that devalue the art of writing? Tut, tut.
Turns out I was wrong (and not for the first time) as I hear other novels by many of the authors involved in 2011′s event saw a noticeable increase in sales afterwards which is great.
More sales = more readers!
So, I’m flying the flag this year and have applied to be a giver myself.
If you think a number of people you know or associate with would benefit from a free book then check out World Book Night’s website here to find out more – the deadline for applications is 1st Feb.
