Hey Guys, I have setup our calendar of events to include weekly virtual meetups covering specific genres you guys read and write in. Each genre will roll around every 5 weeks as we have 10 Macro Genres we will be covering. Those Genres are: 1) Non-Fiction 2) Memoir/Biography 3) Mystery/Thriller 4) Science Fiction/Fantasy 5) Literary Fiction 6) Young Adult (YA)/Children's Literature 7) Horror/Supernatural/Paranormal 8) True Crime 9) Historical Fiction 10) Romance Once we get these weekly meetups established and running smoothly, we can then focus on the Regional Virtual Meetups so you guys can build relationships with authors that live in the same region as you. I have the meeting setup on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm central because I run a transportation company and I cannot Commit to anything earlier than that. Hopefully some brave souls out there will want to step up and become a community leader by co hosting these events with us. Anyways, let see how this goes and then we can build from there!

Hey Big Book Lovers! I just wanted to share a piece of exciting news for the big book love author community. We want to thank all the new authors who have been joining the community with something special as an act of appreciation. I know many of you guys have books you have written or are in the process of writing and are trying to figure out what to do next. Kathy and I have talked, and we want to offer you guys a 70% Founders Discount for the Official Author Membership to the book club. As you guys know, when you joined the community on the free tier, you joined as a reader even if you are an actual author. You do not need to become an official author member of the book club to participate in the activities of the book club. But if you want to send your book to Kathy to read and be considered as an official pick of the book club, you need to join as an official author. Here is a link to go take advantage of this offer while its still available as the price will go up once we hit a certain number of founding members. https://www.skool.com/bigbooklove/plans I also made a video explaining this Limited Time Founders Offer to join for 70% Off so I encourage you to go watch that video here to learn more. https://www.skool.com/bigbooklove/classroom/2a481963?md=175c...
