Quick Reads: Difference between revisions

'''''Quick Reads''''' is a literacy organisation which works with book publishers to provide low-cost, low-page count books to encourage people to read. A major focus of their outreach are adult readers who need to improve their literacy skills. [[BBC Books]] is one of the non-profit's partners.  Beginning in 2006, this relationship produced original ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction.

During the [[David Tennant]] years, one [[Tenth Doctor]] Quick Reads novella was released each year, including the "transition" year of 2010. No Quick Reads were issued in [[2011]], but the series resumed in 2012 with the [[Eleventh Doctor]].     

The 2007 release, ''[[Made of Steel]]'' was notable for being the first piece of original fiction based upon the revival series to be written by [[Terrance Dicks]], a script editor and writer for the original TV series, as well as a prolific writer of ''Doctor Who'' prose fiction. ''Made of Steel'' was also published a month before the episode ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'' was first broadcast, making it the first appearance of companion [[Martha Jones]].
