EUROPEAN AUTHORS DAY 11.11-12.12.2025

For Authors

Dear Writers, Illustrators, Translators, and book Designers! Join us and co-create the #EuropeanAuthorsDay #ReadForReal celebrations during 11th November – 12th December annually. We want you to be able to travel, meet your readers from different countries, appreciate Europe’s diversity — and, whenever possible, admire its beautiful landscape and architecture from the windows of trains.

Join the celebration

If you’re invited to a meeting or event between 11th November and 12th December, consider suggesting to the organizers that it could also serve as a celebration of authors’ creative work – by using the #EuropeanAuthorsDay #ReadForReal branding.

Let us know, we will show your meeting on #EuropeanAuthorsDay #ReadForReal social media!

Show, download, share

Share the downloadable materials with the centres that invite you for an author event. Use the provided resources and post on your social media during the #EuropeanAuthorsDay #ReadForReal  celebrations: you can show your events, share a photo of your workday, your desk, your inspirations — there are no limits to your creativity!

Share your work and celebrate creativity on your profiles and tag @read.forreal so we can like your posts. Don’t forget to use the hashtags!

Co-create

Our goal is to raise awareness of the fundamental importance of creativity for development. Should you have a chance, we kindly invite you to collaborate! Find the organization acting as the hub for the #EuropeanAuthorsDay #ReadForReal project in your country. Help us connect and showcase the talents of authors — together, we can achieve more.
