Creative readers' journal – expression of interest form Survey

We are looking to recruit approximately 50 people to take part in this research project and are now accepting expressions of interest. If we receive more than 50 expressions of interest we will select participants with a view to balancing our group by location, demographics and reading preferences / habits to help us see if there are differences in the way groups use and respond to the journal.

This form will ask you:
