If you don’t have a set reading guide for your book, I encourage you to build one to have available on your blog or web site and to have to send out with book orders of 20 or more to corporations, book clubs etc.
The site below is a great way to feature your reading guide online and it’s only $100 to submit a guide to the site. I think it’s worth it.
Here is the link on to how to do this.
Why should you as an author do a reading guide?
1. It’s a great primer for your book.
2. Makes the book more acccessible to people who are interested in it but might be intimidated by its subject focus.
3. It will empower managers, leaders etc. to bring your book into the office and have a great head start for facilitating a team around the book’s ideas.
4. It will help you identify for potential news coverage the real mission and ideas presented in the book in a brief format.
5. The questions you come up with for the guide and the answers can also be repurposed as articles.
Reading guides aren’t just for fiction books anymore! If you hit the site above and do a search for business books you’ll find guides to books by Jim Collins and other leaders.
