The Book Club Network – Annual Sponsorship Package

The Book Club Network and Book Fun Magazine is a first stop for many Christian authors and publishers to promote their latest books.

We have just announced new premium placements in the Book Fun digital magazine, and new Direct Email options to their 500,000 subscribers and 30,000 Homeschoolers, as well as Video Book Spot & Video Blog production/promotions.

By far, the best value is their Annual Sponsorship Package, where savvy publishers and authors are saving tens of thousands of dollars annually to reach the largest book club audience in Christendom.

Annual Sponsors are promoted through the magazine and on all of our social networks. The Book Club Network reaches…

• 490,000+ readers
• 3,000+ book club leaders
• 700+ reader reviewers
• 100+ bloggers
• Our various Social accounts are relatively new and already reach 35,000+ on Facebook and 12,000+ on Twitter.
• We are about much more than an ad placement or a banner on a website.

TWO OPTIONS:

• 12-Month Bundle Package, $10,000
• 6 Month Bundle Package, $7,500
• Note: Premium Positioning is first come, first serve with limited availability.
• All bookings are due in advance.

Sponsors who commit to a full year with us will receive the following.  Six month sponsors receive the first 3 bullet points:

• 2 Full page ads every month (24).
• 2 Column spaces in each issue (24). 750-1500 words, per our specs as listed in media kit

What are Reader Reviews?
TCBN will make 30 copies of the book available (20 paperbacks and 10 ebooks) for free to Book Fun readers in exchange for their commitment to write a review.  The reader then is required to post the review everywhere they can find the book on the major outlets (see bullet points.) We do not sell reviews. We give access to our reviewers as a part of our annual sponsorship packages. While we suggest that people excuse themselves if they do not like a book, readers are encouraged to share their honest opinion.  It

• TCBN builds a public page within the site community where the author is able to interact with the readers who are writing reviews and posting wherever books are sold.  The author can see each review and the locations where the review was posted.   Author can then interact with the readers there.
• TCBN builds a second, private page where TCBN’s readers request a copy of the book.  It can generate some sales of the book because of the limiting to 20 paperbacks and 10 ebooks freebies.  After that, the readers have to buy the book in order to review it.  We will provide the addresses to you for a one time use, so you can mail the books.
• Reader reviews deliver approximately 30+ people posting across multiple outlets like Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, Christian Book Distributors, Kobo, iTunes, and more:   anywhere they can find the book when they Google it or look it up on their reader.  They are obligated to post their reviews.  They will also post in their blog if they have one.  If the book has normal distribution, then this Reader Review process will generate approximately 30 readers posting to at least 4 outlets, or approximately 120+ reviews.
