WHAT IS WRD?

WRD is 'the' reading magazine for children aged between 8 and 14 years old. Originally known as tBkmag, but rebranded as WRD in 2013, it has been the-finger-on-the-pulse of what's new and what's happening in children's books since 2003. It's filled with extracts from the latest books, author Q&As plus loads of assorted features and activities.

WRDXtra

In 2018 we began publishing WRDXtra – a mini-mag for slightly older readers (+13 years), with extracts, author features and reviews from new and soon to be released Young Adult (YA) fiction. Copies of WRDXtra are included for FREE with all subscriptions.

HOW TO GET WRD?

WRD is published three times a year and sold by subscription. It's available in four copy packs for schools/libraries/other organisations and single copy packs for home readers. We also offer discounts for bulk (20+ copy) subscriptions and single issue 'classroom packs' for anyone who'd like to gift WRD Magazine to a school.

    WRD Magazine has proved highly popular in school libraries across the country, and not just with keen readers, but struggling and reluctant readers too.
