Book Club Chats

Now it‘s easy to connect with your favorite authors in an entirely new way: on the phone! Just fill out the form and tell us about your Book Club, and let us know which author you’d really like to chat with. It’s as easy as that!

You will receive a call from the author to set up a time that works for your Book Club. At the appointed time, the author will call your Book Club and the discussion can begin! Our authors are happy to discuss their books, their careers, who inspires them, and why they write.
