How to Start a Newsletter for a Book Club

    • 1). Choose a publishing format. You can create a newsletter in Microsoft Word very easily. Simply choose new document and newsletters from the themes. You'll find that Microsoft Word 2007 already possesses a Book Club Flyer as well as multiple other newsletter formats.

    • 2). Choose your information. A book club features plenty of standard information you'll want to include, such as members, leaders and the time of the meetings. You may also want to publish information about the book of the month or the quarter, minutes from the previous meeting and information about upcoming meetings (such as location and time of the meeting).

    • 3). Include necessary information. Every club has information that should be featured in every newsletter. This standard information should include information about the book club, how to join and who to contact for more information. This information is specifically designed for prospective members.

    • 4). Spell-check and edit every newsletter. You should verify that all information is accurate and spell-checked both by the computer and by eye to catch mistakes that a computer might not catch.

    • 5). Print out the newsletter and prepare for distribution. You may print several copies on your computer to hand out to local bookstores and libraries. You may take a master copy to a copy shop to get copies made. You may also save a copy of the newsletter in .pdf format in order to post to local community interest websites.
