Get in Character 2015 with CLIC Sargent

Get in Character 2015

Have your name immortalised in your favourite author’s book with CLIC Sargent's Get In Character eBay auction, and help us to support children and young people with cancer. Let's get bidding!

Your name, their book

CLIC Sargent’s 'Get in Character' fundraising campaign is running for a second year, giving you - or a loved one - the chance to appear in a book as a character name.

We also have an exclusive opportunity for you to bid to win lunch with transatlantic quadruple number one bestselling author Lee Child, creator of the award-winning 19 book series of novels about Jack Reacher. 

There is also the chance to get your hands on signed book bundles from Liane Moriarty, Sarah Addison-Allen, Lucy Dillion, Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Anthony Horowitz.

Aspiring writers can even bid to have their work critiqued by best-selling authors Claire Dyer, Alison Bruce,  Eve Seymour, Kate Rhodes and Colette McBeth. Proceeds from the auction will help CLIC Sargent to support children and young people with cancer, and their families.

Last year, the Get in Character auction raised £3,500 to help CLIC Sargent provide clinical, practical and emotional support to children, young people with cancer and their families. Help us beat that amount so that we can help more children!

Best–selling writer and former SAS Sergeant Andy McNab said: “I’m thrilled to be taking part in Get in Character again this year and helping raise money for CLIC Sargent.

“In 2014 the auction to be named in my book The New Enemy raised an incredible £500, so I jumped at the chance to be involved again.

"It’s a fantastic opportunity for booklovers to make their mark on a book, and something they can be proud of."
