Prefer to write your own note?
Email requests@willowwickbooks.com with the subject Willowwick early readers.
Include your first name, your reading role, your chosen title and confirmation that you are 18 or over. Please leave out children's names, photographs, school details and other personal information.
Sending a note requests a place; it does not guarantee a copy. We will use your email only to respond about this reader group. You can leave at any time by replying. See our privacy notice.
Honest opinions are welcome.
Do I have to leave a public review?
No. Feedback and reviews are entirely optional. Positive, mixed and critical opinions are equally welcome. There is no payment, gift or reward for a review, and no requested star rating. If you choose to review publicly, please mention that you received a free copy and follow the platform's rules.
Will my feedback appear on the website?
Only if we ask and you agree to the exact quotation and attribution. Sending feedback does not give permission to publish it. Private feedback will not be presented as an independent editorial review.
Can I pass the PDF on?
Please keep the file private and use it for your own reading with your household or a supervised reading group. Do not upload it, sell it or forward it to others. You are welcome to share this invitation page so another adult can apply.
Is this the Willowwick newsletter?
No. The reader group is a separate conversation about the books you read. Applying does not add you to a newsletter or a public group, and we do not share members' email addresses with one another.
