Bloomsbury Introduces Dyslexia-Friendly Books

by | Sep 10, 2024 | News

The project led by Production Editor, Elizabeth Kellingley, working closely with Backlist Manager, Duncan Honeyman and Editorial Assistant, Gurdip Ahluwalia, has been entirely driven by Bloomsbury colleagues in their spare time, channelling their passion to make books accessible for those that find reading a challenge.

This project focuses on producing the books using a large, more readable font, and taking into consideration dyslexia-friendly spacing and paper choices. There are currently very few adult dyslexia-friendly books to choose from in the market. It has involved every part of Bloomsbury’s business from editorial and production to operations and web to ensure that the books are easily accessible for people to purchase.

The following books will be publishing in this new readable format on 31st October, following Dyslexia Awareness Week, which runs from 7th–13th October 2024.  They are focused on some of Bloomsbury’s best-selling backlist titles.

 

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Circe by Madeline Miller

The Dutch House by Ann Patchett

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
