Girls' Night In
Girls' Night In is a global short-story compilation series written mainly by female novelists, with all proceeds from the sale of the books going to charities War Child and, for one volume, another children's charity, No Strings. The first book was the brainchild of novelists Jessica Adams, Chris Manby, Freya North and Fiona Walker. Publishers include HarperCollins UK, Penguin Australia and Red Dress Ink USA. Team editors over the series include Jessica Adams, Maggie Alderson, Nick Earls, Imogen Edwards-Jones, Lauren Henderson, Chris Manby, Carole Matthews, Sarah Mlynowski and Fiona Walker. The series has been translated into Dutch and French and inspired a children's companion series, Kids' Night In. The literary agency representing the series in the UK and Australia is Curtis Brown, managed by Jonathan Lloyd and Tara Wynne respectively.
The first book in the series, Girls Night In, was launched in London in June 2000 and subsequently in Australia in October 2000, with writers including Maggie Alderson, Wendy Holden, Lisa Jewell, Marian Keyes, Kathy Lette, Alecia McKenzie and Freya North. Later that year, sufficient funds had been raised to help War Child build the first Girls' Night In safe play area in the Dardania neighbourhood of Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.
