Authors at your Book Club Meeting

Is it your month to plan the book club program or evening?

Trying to think of something new and exciting to make it memorable?

Why not include an author chat?

Many authors will jump at the chance to do a conference call or Skype call with your book club, and many will even send along some swag (bookmarks, pens, fun stuff to give away) to add to the fun.

How to find an author? You could always start with the website. There is generally contact information and media information there. Finding local authors is always exciting. If you're in the south, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) has a special program that lists authors by state in their "Authors 'Round The South" program at this link --> http://stars.authorsroundthesouth.com/author 

Another website that includes authors willing to travel, or chat with your clubs is BookClubReading.com 

I'd love to hear about your book club events --- stop by and share your stories or email them to me and I'll post them here on the blog.
Hugs and happy reading.
Nancy
