Indy Reads Books bookstore Director Alyssa Starr Newerth knows the book market well. As the co-founder of the Indianapolis Ladies of Leisure Society book club, her goal is to keep her club members focused and engaged. Shorter books seem to work best with the lifestyles of her book club members. They read a lot of short stories and young adult novels but also monitor book reviews to see what's popular. Newerth says they've expanded to include other types of media as well, such as podcasts, to give members more options. Something for authors to keep in mind when considering formats. Many book club members from various clubs around the Indianapolis area frequent the Indy Reads Books bookstore, often looking for the more popular titles and the classics. Book club visits, whether in-person or virtually, offer a great opportunity for authors to connect with their readers.
