Welcome to the Author & Publisher Area

We're working to help children and families all over the developing world fall in love with reading. For most people, that means discovering that one special book that ignites your passion, be it Dracula, or stories about astronauts, or fables about tricky spiders

Worldreader is thrilled that international publishers like Random House, Inc., African publishers like Afram Publications and Sub-Saharan Publishers, and authors like Daniel Pinkwater, Janet Wong, and Cory Doctorow have all joined us to make a selection of their books and stories available to students and families in our program at no cost.  They understand that only with access to great books can a child fall in love with reading.
