Today is World Read Aloud Day, an annual global celebration created by LitWorld that highlights the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories in our communities.
Outskirts Press is proud to be an official sponsor of World Read Aloud Day 2026, and we’re honored to support LitWorld’s mission of strengthening literacy, confidence, and connection through the power of the spoken word.
Reading aloud helps bring stories to life in a way that silent reading doesn’t always capture. When someone reads aloud, stories become shared experiences—filled with expression, emotion, and connection.
For families, it’s quality time. For teachers, it’s a literacy tool. For libraries, it’s community engagement. And for authors, it’s an incredible opportunity to build visibility.
Authors: Yes, You Can Use This Event Even If You Don’t Write Children’s Books
World Read Aloud Day is often associated with children’s literacy—and that’s a big part of it—but authors in every genre can benefit from the momentum and built-in audience attention this day creates.
Here are practical, meaningful ways authors can participate and market their books (even if they don’t write children’s books):
1) Host a Short Live Reading (Facebook or Instagram)
If you’ve never done a live reading before, World Read Aloud Day is a perfect reason to try.
What to read aloud:
A powerful excerpt (1–3 minutes)
Your introduction or dedication
A favorite scene
A short poem
Your first page hook
Tip: Keep it short and inviting. The goal is engagement—not perfection.
2) Create a “Read This Line Out Loud” Quote Graphic
Choose one strong line from your book (or one short quote) and turn it into a simple post.
Works well for:
memoir
poetry
inspirational nonfiction
romance
thrillers
leadership and business books
CTA idea: “Read this out loud. What does it make you feel?”
3) Pitch Yourself to a Podcast, Blog, or Book Community
World Read Aloud Day is a built-in timely angle you can use when doing outreach.
Simple pitch angle: “I’d love to share a short reading from my book in honor of World Read Aloud Day and talk about why reading aloud matters for [your topic].”
This can work for:
faith-based books
wellness and self-help
history nonfiction
fiction (character voice / dialogue excerpts)
leadership and entrepreneurship
4) Invite Your Audience to Participate (and Share Back!)
Readers love being included.
Try posting:
“Read a page from any book today.”
“Read your favorite passage aloud.”
“Read a poem aloud to a friend.”
“Tag me if you do!”
If your audience responds, repost their comments or photos (with permission).
5) Turn It Into a Soft Sales Moment (Not a Hard Sell)
World Read Aloud Day is a great time to remind people your book exists—without sounding overly promotional.
Try a simple framing like:
“If you’re looking for a meaningful read this month…”
“If you’re looking for a book that inspires conversation…”
“If you enjoy stories with heart and purpose…”
Then include your purchase link.
6) Build a Mini Content Series From One Excerpt
Even a single paragraph can become multiple posts:
Day 1: excerpt (short)
Day 2: what inspired that passage
Day 3: a question for readers
Day 4: a review/testimonial quote
Day 5: “If you liked this, you’ll love…”
This works beautifully for authors who want to market consistently without constantly “selling.”

Happy World Read Aloud Day!
Wherever you are today—at home, at work, in a classroom, or in your community—we hope you’ll take a few minutes to read something aloud and share the joy of storytelling.
And to authors everywhere: today is a reminder that your words are meant to be heard.
