Readings is looking for teenage readers to join our Teen Advisory Board for 2019–2020.

Applications are now open for the 2019–2020 Readings Teen Advisory Board!

The Readings Teen Advisory Board is a volunteer group of teenagers that meets at the Readings head office once a month to chat about recent and forthcoming young adult books, write blog posts and short reviews, learn about careers in the book industry, and provide feedback to Readings staff members on a range of subjects.

You can find more information about what the 2018–2019 Readings Teen Advisory Board got up to and read testimonials from current members here.

When and where does the board meet?

We’re currently looking for a new intake of teenagers (aged 14–19) to join our advisory board, starting in July 2019. The board meets on the third Monday of each month at 4.30pm in Carlton. Sadly, we do not currently have facilities to enable remote access for board members.
