Dear Sraffies,

The first World Book Night is taking place this year, on the 5th of March. One million books are being given away for free across the UK and Ireland by book-loving members of the public. With 40,000 copies of Northern Lights being distributed, we hope to have a lot of new readers to the trilogy. It would be great if we could tell them about Bridge To The Stars.

So how can you help support BttS?

If you’re a giver
If you’re giving out Northern Lights, we’d love to hear from you! You could help us by spreading the word about BridgeToTheStars.net – whether it’s telling people about us, or by putting our web address onto a slip of paper inside the books you’re giving. We’d love to hear about your World Book Night experiences, and why you chose Northern Lights to give out.

For everyone else
Even if you’re not a giver, you can still do the above if you find someone giving out Northern Lights! Just because you’re not giving doesn’t mean you can’t attend one of the many World Book Night events being hosted all over the UK and Ireland, so find out if one is happening near you. The biggest will be happening in London on Friday the 4th of March, which Philip Pullman will be attending, and there are 5000 spaces up for grabs for anyone who turns up (doors open at 5pm). I will be attending, so I hope to see some of you there!
