Fonetti at Selby Children’s Literature Festival
We’re delighted to support The Selby Children’s Literature Festival at Selby Abbey on Saturday 19th June.
Vicki and Kim look forward to meeting young readers and budding authors alike, and talking to children and parents about their favourite books and authors.
Says Vicki, “If you are planning to come along, and we hope you are, please come and see us and try out Fonetti reading platform.”
The Literature Festival is taking place from June 17 – June 19 and was established, in 2016, by well-known author, Christina Gabbitas. The first two days are dedicated to school use whilst the Saturday is open to everyone.
Guest authors include: Nick Toczeck, Paul Cookson, James Nicol, Tom Palmer, Donavan Christopher (A.K.A. Rappaman), Liz Million, Ursula Hurst who will be joined by Christina.
Both Christina and Donavan are also judges in our Young Authors’ Competition, and Christina’s brilliant books can be found on Fonetti.
As part of the festivities, we’re sponsoring a competition to find the Selby Children’s Literature Festival logo, hidden in one of the Fonetti, free to read, books.

Says Christina Gabbitas, “There are over 350 literature festivals in the UK, with less than 10% solely dedicated to children. At Children’s Literature Festivals, we want to make festivals and books more accessible for all and is why we are so very excited about the continuing success of The Selby Children’s Literature Festival.
“With over 200,000 children predicted to leave school in July, without reaching their expected level for reading, for their age, getting children to read, and finding enjoyment in it, is priceless and we hope that the festival this year in particular, will encourage that.”
