✨✨✨ HUGE NEWS!!!! ✨✨✨ I am so excited to reveal that Authorfy is going to be an official resource for the National Year of Reading 2026 AND the whole platform is going to be FREE for the entire year from 1st January. 🎥 13,000 hours’ worth of author videos - FREE! 📖 Thousands of resources & activity packs - FREE! 📚 Hundreds of downloadable book extracts - FREE! ✍🏼 Printable author letters, writing challenge videos, authors & illustrators sharing their reading habits & book recommendations - ALL FREE! Free to use in classrooms. Free to use in assemblies. Free to use in libraries. Free to use at home!!! No passwords needed. No logins required. The whole site will be free and open for anyone to access and I could not be more excited to see children get even closer to their favourite authors & illustrators - and be introduced to some they might not have heard of yet. 📣 Please help us spread the news far and wide. We want as many teachers, librarians, home educators and parents / guardians to hear about it as possible. Do give us a follow on Instagram if you haven’t already (Instagram.com/authorfy) and we’ll update you with more info at the start of January 2026. 🎉 And do sign up on the GO ALL IN website to register your interest in the National Year of Reading 2026 and receive regular updates on everything they’ve got planned: ➡️ goallin.org.uk/join-us. They’ve just launched some brilliant videos explaining the different offers for Early Years, Primary & Secondary settings too - you can find those on YouTube! I’m very busy behind the scenes preparing to GO ALL IN for the National Year of Reading 2026 (not as busy as the BRILLIANT National Literacy Trust team!) and can’t wait to help (re)connect people of all ages with reading as a meaningful, modern, and social activity. The ambition is that the National Year of Reading 2026 will make lasting change to the reading habits of the nation to reverse the decline in reading for pleasure and unlock one of the most powerful tools for equity and opportunity: a love of reading that lasts a lifetime ❤️✨📚
