Promoting Online Reading Guides


Warwick’s
in La Jolla, CA, sends out a monthly newsletter for book clubs. In addition to promoting events, store-sponsored book clubs and their upcoming selections, they also have a section that features free online reading guides for book clubs. They explain:

Many of our favorite publishers provide free online reading guides. The following is a list of those websites, along with some of their reading recommendations.

Although the publisher landing pages feature many more reading group guides, it’s a nice way to call attention to several more titles in the book club newsletter. Warwick’s was able to feature 5 additional titles in their newsletter this way.
