The WWW team has been busy these last months, updating, adding new info for you, as well as developing great new partners to add even more value to our Winner Circle membership. We’re excited about the new and improved author tools and if you’re not a member yet, we invite you to come join us in the Winner Circle!
By the Numbers
Our interactive map of LIVE Book Clubs is up to over 275 and counting! The team’s newest project is making contact with book stores, one by one, state by state, to identify book clubs meeting at –or affiliated with– an independent book store. In the past thirty days we’ve added new live clubs in Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
As always, if you are part of –or know of– a book club in your area, tell us about it HERE!
We’re also updating our book stores map; you’ll see the updated dates as we move through each state.
Meanwhile, our calendar of book festivals, conferences and writing competitions is busting at the seams with hundreds of speaking and competition opportunities for authors, many coming up this fall, so get to work and get a jump on your fall book promotion!
In our databases of vetted book reviewers, we’ve added several reviewers, and have improved functionality. Besides being able to sort by rating, name, etc., we’ve added a “date” field to reflect when the listing was added or modified to the list. This will let regular users quickly view the newest additions in their preferred genres.
