Your Paper Quest

Your Paper Quest is a UK and US based book of the month subscription box that exclusively features stories from self-published and independent authors. Depending on their subscription, subscribers receive a carefully curated selection of books based on a rotating theme, ensuring a diverse array of genres and stories, every one, two, or three months. Our goal is to better connect readers with emerging indie authors, offering an exclusive and personalised reading experience that includes notes from the authors, and an invitation to our virtual book club where subscribers can have discussions with each other and ask questions to the authors themselves.

For writers, we at Your Paper Quest work hard to provide an opportunity to reach a wider audience without any submission fees. Selected authors benefit from UK and US-wide distribution and the support of a passionate team committed to promoting self-published and independent stories.

We're so grateful to get to work with the Medway River Lit festival to further celebrate literature and champion self-published and indie authors. Join us in supporting the future classics of tomorrow by subscribing to Your Paper Quest and discovering hidden literary gems today.

Dragon Coworking

We are delighted to be partnering with Wordsmithery for their upcoming festival, Medway River Lit Festival.

As a local coworking space, we champion the Medway residents who work from our space and have worked hard to create a fantastic community that supports one another and enjoys each other's company.

Our values greatly align with Wordsmithery as they have successfully grown a community that celebrates Medway culture, champions one another's work and takes pleasure in each other's company.

We greatly support all of the work Wordsmithery does in enriching the local culture and look forward to welcoming our community to the creative literary world that is the Medway River Lit Festival.

As a space that facilitates those within finance, tech, construction industries (and many more!), we’re inviting our members who do not regularly attend local creative events to experience this festival and expose them to the wonderful independent festivities that take place throughout Medway.

That’s why we are looking forward to not only experiencing the works of the fantastic talent featured in the festival, but also to journey through our hometown to explore the wonderful local venues the events are taking place in.

We cannot wait to experience the Medway River Lit Festival and we wish everyone all the best in showcasing their works throughout the festival.
