We all know the answer to what a book club is. You may even know today’s top book clubs were started by #celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon. Each with their own idea about why they began their clubs and what books and authors to highlight. As far as I know, the top book clubs read only traditionally published books.
When you’re a lesser-known author, you have to work hard to introduce readers to your book (oftentimes paying for exposure). Suggestions abound, like directly contacting book clubs and influencers, or finding a local book club. But thankfully there is one book club that includes the works of self-published authors— Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/. Goodreads is a social network site specifically geared toward bookworms and lovers of literature. Its mission is simple— let members explore the world of books, discuss literature with one another, make contact with authors and even share their own work with others in the community. That’s the club where you’ll find me. You just need to find time to read or listen to your next best book.
