What do all of these have in common? Well they’ll all be visiting Bath this September to create one of the most dynamic, vibrant literature festivals in the country.

And we want YOU to be involved.

At this year’s Bath Festival of Children's Literature, Penguin Books are teaming up with young people in Bath to create a groundbreaking event run for – and by – teenagers. From poster design to the layout of the venue, this is an event where YOU call the shots.

Opportunities for you include:

  • Working with top-name teen authors Meg Rosoff and Marcus Sedgewick
     

  • Deciding the format of the event, eg live music, food, DJs
     

  • Choosing the venue, eg theatre, coffee shop, out on the street (!)

  • Deciding how the event is promoted

  • A real budget to organise the event
     

  • Free books
     

  • A chance to work with Penguin, the UK’s leading publisher
     

  • A real opportunity to have YOUR voice heard

 To get involved, you will need to be oozing with enthusiasm, available to attend 2-3 creative meetings in Bath between now and September and be prepared to create the most cutting-edge event at this year’s festival.
