Write a book as a club, attend author events or collaborate on a book club cookbook
CreateMyCookbook: If your book club is like mine, phenomenal home chefs bring beautiful dishes to share each time we gather. Gathering those recipes into a book is a great way to celebrate your book club!
Kindle Direct Publishing: Have you ever tried a writing exercise as a book club? One writer in the group starts a sample chapter, and you're off! Our book club took turns picking up the storyline with everyone (who wanted to) contributing a new chapter. It ended up being a hoot. Why not publish it for the world to see and take a chance at reaping the rewards in the form of royalties?
Book Festivals: Writer's Digest keeps this updated list of book fairs and festivals listed by state. Plan a group outing or road trip!
Banned Books Week: PEN America and the American Library Association are planning Let Freedom Read Day on Oct. 11, 2025, calling attention to skyrocketing bans on books in American libraries. Pick a banned book to read as a club, or participate in other anti-censorship activities.
