LovelyBooks reading groups have been a popular way for many authors to engage directly with readers and generate reviews for years.
Since the beginning of 2024, reading groups including book raffles or pure book raffles have been subject to a fee on LovelyBooks.
The author receives the credits for this via the publisher or the self-publishing service.

We are pleased to announce that Nova MD is now offering a tool in cooperation with LovelyBooks to give authors access to these popular and promising reading groups.

Through NOVA MD, one of the leading book distributors in Germany, it is possible for NOVA MD authors to book individual LovelyBooks credits and use them for a reading groups with a raffle of review copies or a book raffle at LovelyBooks.

"The opportunity for our authors to continue to get in touch with their readers via reading groups or book raffles on LovelyBooks and to receive further feedback for their work as authors in addition to reviews of their titles is an important part of our customer work." Barbara Schuhböck, CEO NOVA MD.

We are very pleased about the cooperation with NOVA MD, which is currently the first book distributor to offer its self-publishing authors reading groups and book raffles on LovelyBooks as targeted marketing for their new releases and are looking forward to many more successful campaigns from NOVA MD self-publishers," adds Katja Frederking, Director LovelyBooks.
