Girls' Night In
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Girls' Night In is a short-story compilation series written mainly by female novelists, with all proceeds from the sale of the books going to charities War Child and No Strings. The conception of the series was the brainchild of novelists Jessica Adams, Chris Manby, Freya North and Fiona Walker.
Books in the series include Girls' Night In, Girls' Night In 2: Gentlemen by Invitation, Big Night In, Girls Night In 4, Kids Night In and Kids Night In 2.
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 and Kathy Lette. Later that year, sufficient funds had been raised and War Child built the first Girls' Night In safe play area in Dardania in Pristina, Kosovo.
Girls' Night In,Girls' Night In 2: Gentlemen by Invitation and Big Night In collectively raised over $A2.5 million for War Child, with over 940,000 books being sold worldwide.
