That sounds like a fantastic effort! Thanks so much for letting us know 😀 .

The deal is that roughly 60 dues-paid KaCSFFS members get free access to downloadable REVIEW COPIES of a new or indie author’s novel (just one) for a month or two (depends on the deal we’ve worked out). We kick off the “reading time period” with a promotional announcement at one of our monthly meetings, posts on our club’s Facebook page, and on our blog. After that, we provide the appropriate download link(s) to our members-only list.

We finish the “reading period” with a FaceTime or Skype interview with the author during a subsequent meeting, to discuss the book. We close with another blog post/Facebook notice about the book, and we strongly encourage members to write reviews (we even supply hashtag suggestions).

So far, we’ve featured a YA science fiction book and a fantasy adventure, and we’ve had a couple of GREAT interviews–but I have no idea how many actual reviews this effort engendered (It WAS good publicity for both books, anyway). This month we have another selection–Military science fiction with a dose of horror/intrigue.

We are looking for well-written work by emerging and indie authors in our sf, fantasy, horror, and “speculative fiction” genres, who think this program might work for them. Kristen, if any of your readers would like to submit works to be considered for this program, they can email KaCSFFS@gmail.com. We’re a social/literary club that makes no money with this program–part of our mission is to spread the word about works of art in our genres.
