Booktrust is delighted to bring you Bookbite, inspiring you to get more out of reading and writing. Bookbite is an exciting new project, which as well as this website has a magazine that you can download here.
Whether you always have your nose in a book, or just flick through a local paper; whether ‘writing’ to you means writing short stories for grandchildren, keeping a diary or putting a thoughtful note in a greetings card, we are sure Bookbite will provide lots of exciting ideas to get you started.
We hope you’ll enjoy the short story and poems we’ve selected and the thoughts of some authors and personalities. Why not enter one of our great competitions? Throughout Bookbite you’ll find opportunities to write something and send it to us, by post or on this website.
Bookbite can offer:
• Something to dip into for a quick read
• Inspiration to write something from a letter to a story
• Ideas to polish up some old skills – or to try something new
• Information on where to find people who share your interest.
Pointing you in the right direction
‘How do I find out about my family tree?’
‘I’m interested in local history – who can help?’
‘I’ve got an idea for a story or poem – where do I start?’
‘I want to record my memories. How do I go about it?’
‘How can I interact with other Bookbite users?’
Bookbite answers all these questions and more, with reading suggestions, and ideas for where to go for help and information.
Booktrust is delighted to be working in partnership with WRVS and UK Online centres to bring you Bookbite, so happy reading and writing!
