Discover Our Approach →EVERMONT BOOK CLUB READING CHALLENGE
Give Your Book a Place in the Conversation
The Evermont Book Club Reading Challenge gives authors an opportunity to introduce their books through a guided community reading experience. Depending on the selected participation option, your book can be featured as readers discover its ideas, follow the reading journey and take part in thoughtful discussion.
Where We Introduce Your Book
Once we receive your book details, our team researches Goodreads book clubs and other relevant reading communities to identify groups whose interests align with your book's subject, genre and themes.
We look for communities with engaged readers and review each group's guidelines and participation requirements. Where appropriate and permitted, we introduce your book to suitable communities so interested readers can discover it and consider joining the reading experience.
Community selection and participation depend on each group's rules and member interest. Goodreads and the independent communities we research are not affiliated with Evermont, and placement, discussion, reviews or sales are not guaranteed.
