'''Quick Reads''' is a literacy organisation which works with book publishers to provide low-cost, low-page count books in order to encourage people to read.  [[BBC Books]] is one of the non-profit's partners.  Beginning in [[2006]], this relationship began to produce original ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction.

Although the cover design has some commonality with the hardbound ''Doctor Who'' [[New Series Adventures]], Quick Reads were significantly different in contentThey are exclusively published in paperback at a lower cover price than the hardcovers, and they have a much lower page count.
During the [[David Tennant]] years, one [[Tenth Doctor]] Quick Reads novel was released each year, inclduing in the "transition" year of 2010No Quick Reads was issued in [[2011]], but the series resumed in [[2012]] with the [[Eleventh Doctor]].
