Meet Neil Gaiman

Sometimes, when he was smaller, people used to tell Neil Gaiman not to make things up. He never listened. Now he's written more than twenty-five books and has been given dozens of awards, many of them been given dozens of awards, many of them astonishingly ugly. He's written television drama and for movies, and for comics. He's even written "non-fiction", which he learned is only marginally less made-up than the fiction.

Sometimes he thinks about finding some of those people who warned him of all the awful things that would happen if he kept making things up, and finding out if it's happened yet, or is still going to happen, and whether he should buy a tin hat and thick boots for protection. In the meantime, he grows pumpkins and keeps on making things up.

The Oxplore Book Club

Are you aged 11-14? Do you dig dystopian drama, spine-tingling short stories, and classic Young Adult fiction? Join our Oxplore Book Club -- it's been created especially for you!

How it works

The Club runs between March and July 2021, launching on March 4th for World Book Day.

Each month we'll provide you with a brand-new text recommendation, some of which will be freely available to access online.* At the same time, we'll publish new resources to enhance your reading experience including articles, quizzes and videos on the writers, wider contexts and themes.

The purpose of Oxplore Book Club is to introduce you to stories and poems that you might not have come across in school and encourage critical thinking and debate around each text. We hope that each of the titles we've selected will move you to leave a comment or review. Whether you loved or loathed the text, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

We'll also be running live Book Club discussions each month led by Oxplore students where you'll gain another opportunity to have your say...

*This may include extracts and audio books. In some cases, we can only provide some of the text for free, but you can borrow a full copy from your school or public library.

How to get started

1. In the lead-up to the launch date on March 4th, c heck out our social media channels (@letsoxplore) for updates including details of our first text choice and free downloads to help get you started on your Book Club journey!

2. If you don't have one already, we recommend signing up for a free Oxplore account. As a registered user, you will be able to post comments on Big Questions, submit book reviews, bookmark resources for later and gain the latest updates in our newsletters.

3. On the first Thursday of each month (starting March 4th), we'll start on a new text and publish supporting resources and learning activities in our 'Are you ready for Book Club? Big Question.

4. You have until the end of the month to submit your book reviews discussing the set text for that month. Click here to submit your review. Our favourites will win exciting prizes and see their reviews published on the Oxplore website, so it's well worth having a go! Winners will be announced on the first Friday of the following month!

5. Near the end of each month, we will be running a live book discussion with special guests from the University of Oxford. Again, keep an eye on our social media channels (@letsoxplore) for dates and times of our upcoming events.

Do you have to read all the books?

Oxplore Book Club is pretty informal, so whether you form a reading group in your school or prefer to absorb the books in your own free time, we'll leave exactly how and how much you participate, up to you.

However, we will be awarding certificates and Oxplore goodies to members or groups who read at least 3 of the books, so stick with us! To demonstrate your participation in the Book Club, you'll need to:

create a free Oxplore account

leave comments on the 'Are you ready for Book Club?' Big Question.

take part in at least 3 of our live sessions.

submit book reviews.

We can't wait for you to join us! If you have any questions, please send them to oxplore@admin.ox.ac.uk and we will gladly try to help.
Happy reading!

Librarians across the country have been banging their heads together and have come up with this list of websites where you can access free online books, many of which are out-of-copyright classics.

Some can be read online, and others can be read on screen. A few are also excellent for primary school, so if you have a younger child/sibling have a close look.

Also, if you are a member of a public library this often gives you access to online titles also.

The lock-down could be the perfect opportunity to read that long-lost classic you always wanted to read, but never had the time. Now you do!

Renaissance Publishing are offering free access to over 7000 books. This is predominately aimed at primary ages, but if you have younger siblings there is a lot of fun to be had here.

World Book Day have lots of extracts from books aimed at primary and the lower secondary years.

University level and scholarly articles - If you prefer non-fiction and fancy a challenge, or you want a taster of what university students are expected to read, try a scholarly article/book published and made freely available by a variety of educational establishments.

Project Gutenberg: download classics for free - If you've always wanted to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and never got around to it, check out this amazing resource of classic out-of-copyright classics. You can have the texts sent to your kindle, phone or other eReader.

Lit2Go: listen and read at the same time - Classic novels are available in audio format via this website, which also provides the text so you can read along.

Join the Open Library - You will need to create an internet archive account to download books from this site, but it is free to join. With many of these books a generous donor has paid the license needed to allow the Open Library to lend the book to its users; the other books are out of copyright.

Free Children's Classics: PDFs & Audiobooks - A small collection of free out-of-copyright books.

How to Find Great Literature Online for Free - If you want to dig very deep into this subject this site is a great place to start.

Storyline Online - Listen to authors reading their own stories online via YouTube and other platforms. Excellent for primary ages.

World Book Online - Ebooks and more free until end of April - This resource gives children access to an EBRARY with more than 400 titles of non-fiction books (mainly aimed at primary and Year 7-8 pupils, depending on literacy levels) and also access to free fiction classics.

‘The Ickabog’ a brand new story from JK Rowling.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Skip to content

I had the idea for The Ickabog a long time ago and read it to my two younger children chapter by chapter each night while I was working on it. However, when the time came to publish it, I decided to put out a book for adults instead, which is how The Ickabog ended up in the attic. I became busy with other things, and even though I loved the story, over the years I came to think of it as something that was just for my own children.

Then, in the Spring of 2020, lockdown happened. It was very hard on children, in particular, so I brought The Ickabog down from the attic, read it for the first time in years, rewrote bits of it and then decided to publish it at first in free instalments online for children stuck at home. I also thought how wonderful it would be if children on lockdown illustrated the story for me, and so we launched the Ickabog illustration competition, run by my publishers around the world.

The Ickabog book, illustrated by the winners of the competition, is now out as a book, and I'm donating my net royalties to my charitable trust, Volant, to help medical and frontline charities supporting vulnerable groups impacted by Covid-19.

Thank you to everyone who entered the competition and helped create the book, and I hope you enjoy reading it!

A: I have to say that I can't stand lists of 'must do's', whether in life or in writing. Something rebels in me when I'm told what I have to do before I'm fifty, or have to buy this season, or have to write if I want to be a success.
Ten Habits All Best-Selling Writers Have In Common. These Five Tips Will Transform Your Writing! Follow J.K. Rowling's Golden Rules For Success!
I haven't got ten rules that guarantee success, although I promise I'd share them if I did. The truth is that I found success by stumbling off alone in a direction most people thought was a dead end, breaking all the 1990s shibboleths about children's books in the process. Male protagonists are unfashionable. Boarding schools are anathema. No kids book should be longer than 45,000 words.

So forget the 'must do's' and concentrate on the 'you probably won't get far withouts', which are:
Reading
This is especially for younger writers. You can't be a good writer without being a devoted reader. Reading is the best way of analysing what makes a good book. Notice what works and what doesn't, what you enjoyed and why. At first you'll probably imitate your favourite writers, but that's a good way to learn. After a while, you'll find your own distinctive voice.
Discipline
Moments of pure inspiration are glorious, but most of a writer's life is, to adapt the old cliché, about perspiration rather than inspiration. Sometimes you have to write even when the muse isn't cooperating.
Resilience and humility
These go hand-in-hand, because rejection and criticism are part of a writer's life. Informed feedback is useful and necessary, but some of the greatest writers were rejected multiple times. Being able to pick yourself up and keep going is invaluable if you're to survive your work being publicly assessed. The harshest critic is often inside your own head. These days I can usually calm that particular critic down by feeding her a biscuit and giving her a break, although in the early days I sometimes had to take a week off before she'd take a more kindly view of the work in progress. Part of the reason there were seven years between having the idea for Philosopher's Stone and getting it published, was that I kept putting the manuscript away for months at a time, convinced it was rubbish.
Courage
Fear of failure is the saddest reason on earth not to do what you were meant to do. I finally found the courage to start submitting my first book to agents and publishers at a time when I felt a conspicuous failure. Only then did I decide that I was going to try this one thing that I always suspected I could do, and, if it didn't work out, well, I'd faced worse and survived.

Ultimately, wouldn't you rather be the person who actually finished the project you're dreaming about, rather than the one who talks about 'always having wanted to'?
Independence
By this, I mean resisting the pressure to think you have to follow all the Top Ten Tips religiously, which these days take the form not just of online lists, but of entire books promising to tell you how to write a bestseller/what you MUST do to be published/how to make a million dollars from writing.

I often recommend a website called Writer Beware ( https://accrispin.blogspot.com) to new and aspiring writers. It's a fantastic resource for anyone who's trying to decide what might be useful, what's worth paying for and what should be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, there are all kinds of scams out there that didn't exist when I started out, especially online.

Ultimately, in writing as in life, your job is to do the best you can, improving your own inherent limitations where possible, learning as much as you can and accepting that perfect works of art are only slightly less rare than perfect human beings. I've often taken comfort from Robert Benchley's words: 'It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous.'
Q. What do you love most about the writing life?
A: I can't answer this without sounding melodramatic. The truth is that I can't really separate a 'writing life' from 'life.' It's more of a need than a love. I suppose I must spend most of my conscious life in fictional worlds, which some people may find sad, as though there must be something lacking in my external life. There really isn't! I'm a happy person, by and large, with a family I adore and quite a few activities I enjoy. It's just that I have other worlds in my head that I often slip in and out of and I don't really know how it would feel to live any other way.
Q. What does it feel like having your work scrutinised?
A: Having your work scrutinised is an inevitable concomitant of being a professional writer. I never dreamed that there would be a fandom the size of Harry Potter's picking over the books. It's staggering and wonderful. Given that I'm fairly obsessive myself, these are kindred spirits.

I could have spent literally every hour of every day discussing Potter characters, plot twists and theories with fans over the last ten years, but as I want to work on new things, I don't give in to this temptation that frequently.

I miss the days when readings and events were slightly more low key. I'm not complaining, but when audiences grow big you obviously can't reach everyone who wants to ask you a question. Being able to engage with people on Twitter goes some way to solving this for me. It's astounding that people are still so interested in those books, and I doubt I'll ever stop interacting as long as there are readers who know the world so well.

I'm in a new phase with the fandom right now, because I'm working within the wizarding world again, on Fantastic Beasts. Once again, I'm balancing wanting to interact with fans, with not being able to answer certain questions fully, because we're only two films into a five film series. It's a nice problem to have, though.

Q. Do you have tips for others trying to write? A: I have to say that I can't stand lists of 'must do's', whether in life or in writing. Something rebels in me when I'm told what I have to do before I'm fifty, or have to buy this season, or have to write if ...
