Have you thought about how your book could fit into classes or book clubs?

An often overlooked source of high book sales is in the classroom! If an instructor adds your book to their curriculum, that's pretty much a guaranteed minimum of 10-20 sales depending on class size. Same thing if a book club picks it up!

Here are some tips to get your book adopted into classrooms or book clubs!

Class Adoption
- Reach out to any professors you may know!
- If you're a professor yourself, offer a curriculum swap and see if you can list their book in your curriculum
- See if you could find some outside sponsor to help fund the adoption if the department is unable to order the book
Book Clubs
- Check out your local library or bookstore and see if they run any book clubs! Ask how you could be involved and/or how you might be able to pitch your book for consideration
- Look up popular online book clubs and become a member
- Red Hen can offer book club discounts so let them know they can reach out to media@redhen.org for a discount code!
