[close] A book club

[close] Hey! I created this group because I thought it would be a fun way to meet and talk to people about good books. We'll vote on books to read each month and have discussions during and after we read it! I'll announce the monthly book(s) a couple of weeks before the start of the month so we have enough time to go out and get it. I think this will be a lot of fun. Follow my youtube and my twitter (@abbiebosworth) for updates and things!

[close] Please only talk about the book because I am easily distracted

[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.
