Since its creation in 2009, Great Group Reads has become a highly regarded and anticipated resource for reading groups, individual facilitators, educators, bookstores, and libraries to recommend books.

For Publishers:

GGR elevates the profiles of the books chosen for each list. While some books on the list become bestsellers, the value to lesser known titles, mid-list titles, and titles from small presses is immeasurable. WNBA provides extra publicity through our mailings to bookstores, libraries, and book clubs, author talks and interviews, giveaway opportunities, content marketing, advertising, and more.

We encourage small presses, university presses, independent publishers, as well as medium-to-large publishers to submit for GGR.

For Members:

The GGR Selection Committee is comprised of members who are ready for a reading challenge! Between February and July of each year, the Great Group Reads Committee reads hundreds of books submitted by publishers. Seasoned readers read the submitted books and decide on a list of 20 top titles.
