Home of innovative and original Young Adult fiction
Interested in writing for teen readers? Young Adult reader looking for reading inspiration? Join Taller Books author Rachel Churcher for a FREE author talk at Mildenhall Library this Thursday (15th August).
We really can’t believe this. We launched our first novel, Battle Ground, at London Olympia FIVE WHOLE YEARS AGO on a frighteningly hot and humid day at YALC.
😲 FIVE YEARS!! 😲
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has bought, read, reviewed and told other people about the book and the series. It has been an amazing five years of writing, promoting, meeting new readers – and winning two international awards. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. 🧡
Taller Books has come a long way in five years. Seven books in the Battle Ground Series (plus a free novella), a standalone LGBTQ+ novel, Angels, a children’s picture book, an indie author editing service, and sponsorship of the Foreword Festival UK.
Here’s to the next five!
Today is PTSD Awareness Day, and with author Rachel Churcher we’re launching our official fundraising page for PTSD UK.
All Rachel’s novels feature main characters who experience PTSD, and we want their stories to help support PTSD awareness and treatment.
As part of the Foreword Festival UK Pay It Foreword Book Fair in Bury St Edmunds on August 31st, we’ll be raising money for PTSD UK via JustGiving – and we’re starting today! Any donations massively appreciated, and all donations on the official page go directly to the charity.
PTSD UK is the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – no matter the trauma that caused it.
Thank you so much for your support!
This month on the Taller Books newsletter, Bookstore Addicts, we’re thinking about book covers. What makes a great cover? Do Kindle and Paperback covers work differently? And do we really judge books by their cover designs? (Spoiler: yes. Yes we do!).
In the newsletter, we looked at the designs for our Battle Ground Series paperbacks, and compared them with the updated designs for the Books 1-3 Kindle Bargain Box Set.
Which do you prefer? And which are more relevant to the books? Let us know in the comments, or drop us an email. We’d love to hear what you think!
