Monthly Fiction Newsletters

Monthly Fiction Newsletters *
Every month I produce a Fiction Newsletter aimed at schools, libraries, young people and parents. Each month I select 9 novels per age group (7+, 11+, 13+) as well as a focus on an author or a day of remembrance or celebration and then add a sprinkle of r4p activities. Printed out they make colourful displays or can be sent digitally to parents as part of your reading for pleasure initiative.
