About Bookmovement.com
Bookmovement.com was founded in 2001 to give book clubs a way to recommend books to each other on a national level.Each part of the Bookmovement.com website is designed to meet a specific goal:
* The Preview & Review program introduces new titles to our members by giving free copies of books to 10-15 members (or one book club) to read and review for their peers.
* Our Essential Book Club Planner tracks what book clubs are reading, in addition to giving our member book clubs a way to share and distribute book information to their members. Clubs create their own private, customized web page on which they can post book selections and send notices to members. The Planner creates a reading guide for their selection, and emails the guide, meeting details, Google map of meeting location, Amazon price with buy link and RSVP request to their members. The Planner also sends a follow-up email to club members asking them to evaluate their book selection for their peers.
* The 800+ BookMovement-created reading guides found in The List are members book selections as well as the selection of media book clubs; The information included in these guides gives clubs all the information they told us they needed: Amazon price with buy link, publisher-provided discussion questions, email link to the author, and web links to author and publisher websites.
* Our Book Club Bestseller List, updated monthly and compiled from Book Club Planner and site data, shows our members what books clubs are reading now.
Data from the Preview & Review program and the Essential Book Club Planner continue to shape the site and its content.

How BookClubbing Works
BookClubbing will bring your books to more than 19,500+registered bookclubs.
BookClubbing books will be the only books promoted in the newsletter which will go out once or twice a month - no more than five books per newsletter. Each book will have a contest attached - one book club can win books for all of its members. (Typically 10-12 members.)
This newsletter goes to representatives of more than individual 19,500 book clubs - representing a total of 195,000 plus book club members.
At the Bookmovement.com website there will be a reading group guide link, an excerpt link, links to the author 's web site, publisher book info, blurbs, book description, and author's availability to speak or visit the book clubs.
After the home page promo for the month, the book will be archived on giveaway archive page, reading guide database & book club bestseller list (if in top 100 - which it will be the month it's promoted.)
Email this author button will be featured on reading guide permanently, so authors can be contacted after promo period ends.

About BookClubbing's BE NEXT! Promotion
BookMovement has built a nationwide network of more than 18,000 book clubs and their #1 desire is to know what other book clubs are reading and what books they recommend. The next most promising group of hand sellers of books are book clubs who recommend books to each other and BookMovement allows them to do just that.
Take The Next Thing on My List. Never promoted on BookMovement, the book appeared on BookMovement as book clubs discovered it soon after the hardcover edition was published in April 2007. By allowing our members to track how many clubs are reading the book and read their reviews, members started recommending the book to their club and as of April 2009, 248 book clubs have read the book. 
How the BE NEXT! promotion works
BookMovement's 18,000 book clubs are on the lookout for the next great book club book. By plugging in to our book clubs word of mouth network and offering book clubs a first look at your book before it comes out, your book has the opportunity to BE NEXT!The last week of each month, we will send out a dedicated newsletter announcing 5 titles that will be coming out in the next three to six months. Each book title will have a contest attached - one book club member will win a galley or ARC and offer a recommendation to our 18,000 book clubs. The title will be promoted for one month on the BookMovement.com homepage. This newsletter goes to representatives of more than individual 18,000 book clubs - representing a total of 180,000 plus book club members.
Like the Bookclubbing promotion, at the Bookmovement.com website there will be a reading group guide link, an excerpt link, links to the author's web site, publisher book info, blurbs, and book description.
After the home page promo for the month, the book will be archived on giveaway archive page, reading guide database & book club bestseller list (if in top 100 - which it will be the month it's promoted.)
