Lucasfilm, Disney Publishing
Worldwide, and its publishing partners announced today the second annual Star Wars Reads Day to be held this October 5, 2013. Last year, 30 authors and 1,500
costumed volunteers participated in over 1,200 Star Wars Reads Day events across North America. On October
5 of this year, Star Wars fans,
authors, and artists will again come together in this multi-publisher
initiative that celebrates reading and Star
Wars. Participating publishing
partners include Abrams, Chronicle Books, Dark Horse, Del
Rey, DK, Quirk Books, Random House Audio, Scholastic, Titan Magazines, and
Workman.
“Star
Wars Reads Day is the kind of initiative that we at Lucasfilm love to
support” says Carol Roeder, Director of Publishing at Lucasfilm. “Reading and Star Wars have gone
hand-in-hand since 1976, when the novelization of the original Star Wars
movie was released. Over the years, many fans have discovered the joy in
reading through Star Wars books, and we hope to continue encouraging
more people to read.”
