Book Clubs and Your Book

This Session

Writers love to have their books featured by book clubs. We’re excited for, passionate about, and longing for readers to enjoy a new adventure. We might think that should be enough for book clubs to jump onboard our book, but we can thrill them even more by offering ways to enjoy the book within a book club.

In our time together, we will dive into the following topics to make sure each writer is professional and organized:

• Rule #1: Write a Good Book.
• What is a Book Club?
• What Do Readers Look for in a Book?
• How Do Writers Select the Best Book Club Fit for Their Book?
• Where do you find Book Clubs?
• The Mechanics of Getting Organized.
• How to Create a Book Club Kit – Step by Step.
• Resources to Make the Writer’s Job Fun and Easy.
