Since 2017 we have produced annual Read for Empathy book collections. The collections are for parents and teachers, and feature books for 4-11 year olds and 11-16 year olds. Both have a linked Read for Empathy Guide, and are marketed in partnership with Peters. 

Submissions have now closed for the 2022 Read for Empathy collection. The new collection will be launched on 26 January 2022.

For full submission guidelines click here.

Please complete a submission form for each book. You'll find the form here.

The final titles in the collection will be selected by an expert panel, chaired by Miranda McKearney OBE. The Primary team will be led by Miranda McKearney, Founder of EmpathyLab and The Reading Agency. The Secondary team will be led by Sarah Mears, Founder of EmpathyLab and Programme Manager at Libraries Connected. You can find more information on the judges here.
