Focus group opportunity - Be part of the publishing process with Bonnier Books

Are you a book clubs based in the UK? Would you like to be involved in the publishing journey of a bestselling author? If so, we invite you to register to participate in our focus group for clubs who read The Book of Fire.

We have the exciting opportunity for two UK-based book clubs to be involved in the publishing journey of bestselling author Christy Lefteri.

To be in with a chance of taking part, fill in this survey by 12pm, 22 March. Selected groups will then receive copies the following week.

If selected, your book club will receive copies of the book and we will host an hour virtual meeting with your group to get your insights as a reading group w/c 15 April. We hope that this will be an enjoyable and informative session for everyone.

We are keen to have groups who are big Christy Lefteri fans, or who have read similar authors before. All groups are welcome to apply.

What will happen if selected to take part?

You will receive the books by late March and, if selected, you and your reading group will be asked to join an hour-long virtual session in w/c 15 April (exact date/time will be determined in collaboration with your group). Groups will have the chance to share their reflections on the book, and get a unique glimpse behind the scenes of an author’s publishing journey. The virtual session will be recorded but the recording will be used for internal analysis only.
