BOOK CLUB BUZZ

Through the Book Club Buzz, authors and publishers can quickly reach over 4,500 book club members across the country.  

The Book Club Buzz gives multiple book club members the chance to win copies of a book - and spread the word to fellow readers and book club members. Each author featured in the Book Club Buzz receives a permanent Featured Author Recipe page and the opportunity to participate in our Guest Author Blog.

Each contest is promoted through a dedicated email announcement, sent to over 4,500 book club members, featuring a photo of the book cover with links to the author’s website, blog and recipe page, and a brief synopsis of the book along with short review quotes. 

The book cover is also featured on the Home and Contest pages of The Book Club Cookbook website for one month, and attracts regular online visitors of The Book Club Cookbook website.

The author or publisher selects the number of books (50 or 75) to be given away, and sends the books directly to each of the winning book club members. The books may be paperbacks, hardcovers, or review copies. All names and addresses of book club members are the property of The Book Club Cookbook and may not be used for other solicitations.

Please note that our readers and subscribers enjoy books with food themes, but the featured books do not need to have a culinary tie-in. Our goal is to promote the best fiction and non-fiction titles for book clubs. We're happy to help authors develop recipes to accompany their promotions.

The contest is promoted in Book Bytes, our quarterly e-newsletter, and winners are announced on our website, accompanied by a book cover photo and website link.

FEATURED AUTHOR RECIPES  

Book clubs love recipes, especially when the recipes are connected to the books they're reading and discussing.  Authors whose books are featured in the Book Club Buzz or in display advertising on the home page and recipe pages are invited to create a permanent recipe page on The Book Club Cookbook website, featuring a recipe that a book club might prepare when discussing their book. Authors may submit a recipe for a food mentioned in the book, a period recipe, or a recipe that they associate with the story and its creation, along with a brief introduction.  The recipe does not have to be original; it can come another source, such as a cookbook or magazine.

The author recipe is posted on the Featured Author Recipes page of our website. Featured Author Recipes remain on the site for readers to enjoy.

GUEST AUTHOR BLOG

Our new Guest Author Blog is available free of charge for authors whose books are featured in the Book Club Buzz. Authors may post blogs during the first two weeks of their book promotion.
