Tell readers who you are as an author: what you write, how you want to connect, and more!  Upon obtaining membership to NOVEL NETWORK® each member creates a personal profile. Your Author Profile is designed specifically to let readers know who you are as an author and how you are looking to engage with Book Clubs. After you have entered your information you will become a part of our literary community and be added to the author directory, where Book Clubs can browse and discover you based on genre, location, services offered, etc.

Connect with reading audiences around the world through our innovative access portal where you can find Book Clubs looking for authors just like you!  As a member you are given exclusive access to the Book Club members of NOVEL NETWORK® who are searching for way to connect with authors. We offer an innovative way to easily connect with these readers through an online Bulletin Board where Authors can browse listings posted by Book Clubs. These groups are looking for the enhanced reading experience that comes from meeting with Authors in person, over video chat, or even by simply having special discussion questions to help them further engage with a story.

Arranging an ‘Author Visit’ is made quicker than ever with NOVEL NETWORK®.  Through your Author Profile you can access your Availability Calendar where you can input the times you are available and how far you are willing to travel to meet with a Book Club. After connecting (through the Bulletin Board or by browsing and using our simple messaging forum) Book Clubs can view your Availability Calendar and make a reservation for an Author Visit online.  Once you approve that the Book Club meets your personal requirements, your visit is confirmed and added to your calendar!

NOVEL NETWORK® aims to ensure that our Authors’ time is appreciated and valued.  For this reason, when Book Clubs schedule an Author Visit they are charged a reservation fee to be distributed to the Author for their time.

Easily use our interactive calendar to advertise upcoming events for your book!  Have an open reading or book launch coming up? As a NOVEL NETWORK® member you have exclusive access to our Community Calendar where you can post your upcoming public events. Visible to all visitors of novelnetwork.com our Calendar can help navigate traffic to your next event and expand your audience of readers.

As an author there is always more to discover and learn. Don’t miss out on hands on workshops from experienced professionals on how to continue to grow as a writer and become a better entrepreneur.  NOVEL NETWORK® knows there are many facets to being a successful Author, even after publication.
