his year, our little organisation turns the big 3 0! We're taking the opportunity to reflect on the brilliant writers, team members, partners, participants, projects and programmes that have formed part of our story so far, and we'd love to hear from you.
Do you have memories of taking part in Spread the Word activities from years, even decades ago? Are there people or projects that have stayed in your mind? Has Spread the Word had an impact on where you are today?
If you have a few minutes to spare for some reminiscing, we'd really appreciate it. Sharing your memories will help us to tell our story and articulate our impact. Which in turn will help us to reach funders and secure the organisation's future.
This opportunity will close on Monday 8 September 2025. If you have any questions about the campaign, please get in touch with Alice Sewell, our interim Head of Communications, via alice@spreadtheword.org.uk.

Full details Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J.
