I've heard that one needs a "sell sheet" for local bookstores... And, wouldn't you know, IBPA has a resource on creating sell sheets! For those of you with successful sell sheets (like, you've used them to get into stores, book buyers like them, etc), I'd love your feedback! What do you like/dislike? What's missing? What could be better? Is this what book buyers at indie stores are looking for? THANK YOU! 🙏 (PDF attached but also an image here that you can quickly look at in Skool...)

Book Club

Hi - I have a book club interested in one of my books, they are asking for a voluntary donation to help them with the promotion to the group with over 2k members. Does any one know how much this should be? ChatGPT says $75, that seems light but ???

@Jeanne Phares I agree with all of the comments above - definitely proceed with caution. There are many bookclubs that do not charge at all, and my advice is to always start locally. Once you have hooked up with a local bookclub - they can usually recommend other clubs to connect with. Its a slow process but well worth the reach and audience expansion capability.
