[close] Hey Ladies, There have been whisperings of wanting to start a book club around work and we thought why not combine great books with some of the best food around, brunch. Plus, who doesn't need another reason to have mimosas?!

[close] This is a group for the brand new genre, K-Rom! Add your K-Rom books, your fanfic, and your K-Rom book wish lists for K-Rom writers to fulfill! K-Rom is any literature written with the intent to replicate the intensely awesome feels generated by Korean Dramas and similar Asian drama genres. Three characteristics define K-Rom: 1.) The ages of the main characters can be virtually any age. That means that some of them might be in high school, some might be in college, and even still, they could be fully grown adults. There are “noona romances” where the girl is older than the boy, or even romances that exist within marriages. They are enjoyed by all ages. 2.) They are surprisingly PG-rated. Sure, there might be some smexy chemistry, and certainly there will be heart-hitching kisses, but in general, these books are devoid of sexually explicit material. (This is why they might be considered young adult, even if the characters are in their twenties! Very confusing for boxed in publishers and their pre-determined categories). 3.) They are romantic in nature. Yes, there are Korean dramas that are in the crime, horror, adventure, etc. categories. But K-Rom is specifically written to replicate the unique and lovable romance that can be found in the very best Korean and Asian dramas. Like our own unique version of RomCom.

[close] 2017 is a year for action. It’s more important than ever that American women try to understand each other in the face of such partisan division, and that we come together in the quest for social justice and equality. That means making calls to your representatives. That means marching for things you care about. That means making your voice heard and lifting each other up. That means educating yourself about experiences outside your own. Reading has been proven to promote empathy and understanding, and we believe that reading broadly is one small step in mending the divides of our nation. The books we will read will encompass a broad range of American experiences; we’ll read about Muslim-Americans, Latinos, African-Americans, LGBTQ+ individuals, undocumented immigrants, white working class women, and more. Because all of these people are American, and all of their stories are American stories. We'll be discussing the books during the last week of the month — so get your copy and get reading now!

[close] Dear Readers, As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation. If you fancy it, please join up and participate. Everyone is welcome. I would be honoured! Emma x

[close] I began this group in January 2015 to support fellow indie authors by featuring them on my website blog. Since then it has turned into a great resource of helpful tips, marketing resources, and just overall support for all indie authors. You're welcome to join our group as long as you contribute and are encouraging in your comments. Please note, in order to fully enjoy our group and make it the best Self Publishing Resource that it can be, we ask that you give as much as you take. If you want your books to be read, read other Indie Author books. If you want help, give help in return. This is how Support for Indie Authors can be the Ultimate Self Publishing Resource and Indie Author Support Group. Please take a moment to read through our Read Me Topics under each Folder Category in order to get a better grasp of our guidelines and where you should you post your questions/comments/etc. Thank you all and Welcome to Support for Indie Authors! Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by visiting http://www.supportindieauthors.com/subscribe/ Sincerely, Ann Livi Andrews *Riley stole this from GG because everyone asks this question.* Bookwhack: Think about bookwhack as bird droppings. Everyone is having a picnic. The sun is shining. The food is good. The conversation is flowing. Then, suddenly a bird flies down and leaves a dropping, ruining the day for everyone. Bookwhacking is doing the same with your book. Going into threads and dropping your book name or cover or blurb without being invited to do so. You fly over, drop the bomb. and leave. Sometimes you stay to add a short comment but the sole purpose of it is to make people think you actually had something to say. In other words, it's finding any reason to push your book in the face of people who were not expecting it.
