Tonight, my wife is hosting her book club at our house. There are about ten participants in the book club, and they each get to choose a book for the year that everyone else needs to read before it is discussed.
Book clubs are all about exploring new books as a group and asking interesting questions. They’re about listening to different points of view and how everyone interprets metaphors or themes.
Book clubs can be an excellent place for writers to hone their writing skills. Not only will you learn how to dissect themes, characters, settings and plots written by other authors, but you will also get an indication of what readers enjoy. Perhaps you might notice that people in your group tend to connect with a particular writing technique that you could try in your writing. Maybe they might let me join in.
