I have spent some effort trying to reach book clubs. When I have an interested club leader, the club really seems to enjoy the book(s). Much discussion is had and I am always up for a zoom call/local meeting when applicable. I offer a copy, signed, to the leader. They are super fun.
I have great success ONCE I connect with them. The problem is connection with book clubs.
I have tried Instagram and other ways with almost no success. There are a ton of books clubs here but I'm not going to spam them.
So, authors and readers - if there is a great book that your book club could read, and the author is potentially very charming*, helpful and personable and willing to entertain a good discussion, then...
How would they find you? What's the best way to present their book to you? Would you like a list of discussion questions (as some suggest) to go along with the book? What exactly would you want from the author - freebies, just a good book, the ability to ask questions, the aforementioned list of questions, or something else entirely?
It would be wonderful to know this, and reach book clubs out there hungry for new book by an author willing to interact. As I said the groups I done just LOVE the interaction.
