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 novelisation]]s, which are considered novels). | The Quick Reads books were launched in [[2006]] as an effort by BBC Books, in conjunction with other partners, to promote reading.

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. | |||
