Please note, DRM is something I have no control over and I hope to see it die a natural death at some point in the near future. \u00a0But again, I have no control so please don&#8217;t be mad at me.<\/li>\n<li>An online presence is helpful&#8230; goodreads, twitter, etc. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t have to be a website\/blog for the club itself, but if several of the members blog, tweet, etc and are up for discussing the book, that&#8217;s awesome. \u00a0The more, the merrier!<\/li>\n<li>The book selection isn&#8217;t a free-for-all. \u00a0Some of my books are more readily available than others. \u00a0I&#8217;m willing to work to provide print or ebook (provided I have that option *note the info about DRM* but some books aren&#8217;t as easy to obtain in print as others.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s\u00a0<em>preferrable<\/em>\u00a0that if the book club doesn&#8217;t meet in person (ie; an internet book club) that the members be willing to take the book in ebook format, versus shipping books out to 15-20 different addresses.<\/li>\n<li>I will handle the shipping.<\/li>\n<li>There is a minimum of 5 members for a club to request sponsorship.<\/li>\n<li>Please note that I&#8217;ll often post &#8216;calls&#8217; on my blog and many of these will reference how many copies I have available, especially with print books. \u00a0If your group has 15 members and I&#8217;m promoting a print book and I only have 5 copies, it&#8217;s not going to work out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, keep in mind, in exchange for me providing the books to the group, I do ask for some reviews&#8230;. good or bad, all I want is honest opinions and some word of mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Groups that are open to ebooks are likely to be considered for ARCs, etc, too. \u00a0More and more ARCs are going the way of the digital, so please keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>I even have a guinea pig&#8230;um, test group! \u00a0I was talking to Francesca who is a member of my street team.
