Stormzy supports The Reading Agency


03 02 2026

Big For Your Boots hitmaker Stormzy has lent his support to The Reading Agency's Quick Reads campaign, a national initiative that publishes short books to encourage people to get back into reading.

The British rapper, who's also the founder of publishing imprint #Merky Books, commented 'Reading helped me when I was young and it still does today. Books have the power to carry you through life. So I'm really proud that Derek Owusu, one of our incredible #Merky Books authors, is taking part in The Reading Agency's Quick Reads… I encourage anyone who doesn't usually read to pick up a Quick Read - because reading really is a superpower'.
