Quick Reads is a sub-series of the BBC Books line of original Doctor Who novels, published at the rate of one per year.
The Quick Reads books were launched in 2006 as an effort by BBC Books, in conjunction with other partners, to promote reading. Although the cover design is the same as that of the full-length Doctor Who novels that have been published since 2005, the Quick Reads differ in that they are exclusively published in paperback at a lower cover price than the hardcovers, and they have a much lower page count, which puts them into the category of novellas (even though in some cases the page count actually exceeds that of many Target novelisations, which are considered novels).
The 2007 release, Made of Steel was notable for being the first piece of original fiction based upon the revived franchise to be written by Terrance Dicks, a script editor and writer for the original TV series and a prolific writer of Doctor Who fiction and novelisations since the 1970s.
It has yet to be announced whether any Quick Reads featuring the Eleventh Doctor will be released.
