It's here! My ebook that gives you all the knowledge, information and encouragement you need to start a book club that changes the world (or injects new life and excitement into your old book club). 

Here's a sneak peek at some of the chapters:

  • How to start a book club that you actually want to belong to
  • Questions to ask before starting a book club that changes the world
  • Whom to ask to join your book club
  • Deciding on the details: Meeting
  • How to organize your first meeting (Tips for a great first book club)
  • How to pick a book
  • Starting an online book club
  • Tips, tricks & other awesomeness
  • Appendix: Generic book club questions; book club invitation template

Here's what the book will teach you:
It will teach you to have an amazing book club that gives as much back to the world as it does to you. It will give you everything you need to know about how to make your book club the coolest club on the box — without paying a dime.

Just to give you a taste of what the book holds for you, here's a excerpt from the opening letter:

It’s hard — damn hard — in today’s world of multiple calendars, varied commitments and general feelings of malaise to regularly get a group of smart, interesting people together to discuss life- and world-changing works of literature (because even 50 Shades of Grey changed the world, in its own weird way). 

First you have to decide what kind of books you’re going to read, then you have to pick the right people — who sometimes are total strangers (in which case the Universe picks them for you, which sometimes leads to pure magic). Once that’s done, you need to pick a date and time which works for everyone, which, let’s be honest, is near impossible for many fledgling book clubs. You have to pick the right books. You have to ask the right questions. 

But those things aren’t the hardest part of starting a book club that changes the world. You know what is? Deciding to make the commitment: committing to read the book, to show up as regularly as possible, to be there for the other people in the group. Woody Allen once said that “eighty percent of success is showing up” —and nowhere is that more true than for a book club...


I wrote the book because I truly believe that books and the people who read them can change the world, given the right tools and inspiration. I hope you download the book, read it and leave a review on the book's Amazon page. And I always like to hear what new and unique things others are doing with their book clubs, so let me know in the comments what makes your book club so awesome.

I'd be thrilled if you downloaded it, used it to either start a book club or enhance your existing group, and leave a review on the book's Amazon page. Of course, I'm always interested in hearing what unique and powerful things you're doing in your own book club — leave your comment below!
