ONLINE READER IN RESIDENCE

Our Online Reader in Residence, Susan Tranter, is always available to talk with you about books and reading.

Susan writes reviews – check out her Book of the Month – as well as taking part in regular online discussions, guiding you through the wealth of reading advice that this website has to offer, and being there to offer one-to-one advice on reading, readers groups and the book world in general.

Check out Susan's Newsletters, her monthly columns on books and reading, and test your book knowledge with her regular Readers' Quiz. Susan has also been inviting some of the UK’s top writers to take part in special EnCompass Author Interviews so you can ask them questions about their books and their writing and reading lives. You can now read Susan's regular blogs.

Susan can set up webboard discussion threads for your reading group and help you to link up with other reading groups around the world. She can organise chats with other reading groups or with authors.

Susan offers:

• help in finding the next book for you to enjoy
• advice about how to take your reading in a new direction
• a passion for books and everything bookish.

If you have any reading questions or ideas for the site then you can Ask Susan.
