Event Boost is our way of giving authors and their events a little extra spotlight.

By sharing graphics, covers, and blurbs on your socials in the run-up to live bookish events — like author talks, panels, and festivals — you can help us:

• Fill the room with readers
• Champion local and national authors
• Spread book buzz far beyond the venue

Whether you’re a book blogger, an author, or a reader who loves to support writers, your posts make a real difference.

Why Get Involved?

Event Boost is free, fun, and flexible — and we love to thank those who join in. By taking part, you’ll:

• Get early access to event packs (covers, blurbs, graphics) before the general public sees them
• Be listed as an Event Boost Supporter on our site and tagged in our socials when we reshare your posts
• Occasionally receive exclusive extras — like early programme announcements, sneak peeks at future line-ups, or the chance to put a question to a panel in advance

No deadlines, no pressure — just share what you like, when you like, and be part of championing books and authors.

Event Boost is a simple way to celebrate books and authors. Just pick an event, download, and share. Easy!

FAQs

Do I have to post at a specific time?
No—anytime before or on the event date is perfect.

What if I can’t post after downloading the pack?
No problem—just skip this one. Even one share helps when you can.

Can I join if I’m outside the UK?
Yes! Even if you can’t attend in person, you can still help spread the word online.

Do I need a blog?
Not at all — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, or even a quick story post works brilliantly.
