I am currently running a book club and the challenge i have had is getting books both old and just released, but i believe there must be a way i can get people to donate to this cause. It is entirely non - profit, i will appreciate your responseHow can i get authors and people to donate books to my book club?
From my experience at community service clubs you can personally meet up with either a store i.e Borders or e-mail them and ask them to help you out I have a friend who asked toys r' us to help her with a project for children who are less unfortunate than others and so toys r' us just gave her items for free therefore talk to a bookstore and see if they can helpHow can i get authors and people to donate books to my book club?
Authors don't get their books for free, so asking them to donate is asking them to buy their own books, receive no royalties on those sales, and give them away. This is more than most authors can afford.
You might do better at having your members scour thrift stores and used book sales at the library for popular titles, which they buy and which you all share the expense of.
Or have a fundraising event first, and use the proceeds to buy books.
