2026/2027 THEMES
The month of the book
We want to celebrate book reading, book making, and book writing...
We don't need you to write a whole book, don’t worry! But we would like to read your ideas about developing a story inspired by a specific book. The books list will be published in May, 2026. Stay tuned!
You can choose from the following:
-
Write a prequel to the book
-
Write a sequel to the book
-
Write a side story for one of your favourite character
For example....
…Let’s imagine the selected book was Harry Potter…
For a prequel, you might choose to focus on the Marauders' era (James, Sirius, Remus, Pettigrew, and Snape), the backstory of Hogwarts Founders, or a "Joker-style" study of Tom Riddle's rise to power. There are many paths to choose from leading up to the beloved story of Harry Potter. You are the one to make them unique.
To find out more about how to start writing check out How to write a story and read about useful tips on getting started, how to get your creativity rolling, or what to do when you’re stuck.
