The Class of 2K10, a group of 23 debut middle grade and young adult authors , is banding together to help nonprofit book clubs obtain brand new, hot off the presses books for their reading groups. This gigantic 230-book giveaway will begin on October 10th, 2010, to mark 10-10-10 for the Class of 2K10. I t will end on November 11, 2010.
The idea was spurred by author and blogger Teri Brown, who runs a book club at a low-income community center. Ms. Brown asked to be contacted by author s willing to donate 8 to 10 copies of their book, adding that she knows it ca n be a challenge, but that the girls in her club love their book club and “want more than anything to have it continue this year.”
“It can be difficult for authors to manage multiple copies on their own , ” said Leah Cypess, author of *Mistwood *and a member of the Class of 2K10. “We felt this was something unique we could offer as a group.”
Five book clubs around the country can win a prize pack of three to six set s of books written by authors from the Class of 2K10. The pack includes TEN copies of each book, and in some packs one of the books will be signed by the author.
The contest is open to all book clubs in the continental US associated with a nonprofit institution, a school, or a library. To enter, book club member s or organizers need only comment on the giveaway post at the Classof2K10 blo g
