With the announcement that Wikispaces is closing its classroom accounts on July 31st this year, there will be NO ACCESS to Book Week for Beginners after that date. Therefore, if there is information such as organising an author visit that you want to save, you need to do so before that date.

Because the closing date is BEFORE Book Week 2018, the wiki will no longer be updated. If someone wants to maintain it on a new platform I am happy to help them with that. Please contact me if this is you.

Thank you to all those who contributed since its inception as a university assignment in 2011.

Please share this with whichever networks you deem appropriate.
