Great Lakes, Great Reads is

  • a fantastic program for increasing visibility and building sales for books and authors that might not otherwise get the attention they deserve in the region where they should do best.
  • ideal for promoting authors who live in our region and books of Great Lakes regional interest.
  • easy, effective, and inexpensive
  • coordinated and actively supported by GLiBA, taking much of the work and worry away from you.
The Great Lakes, Great Reads Brochure explains the program in more detail and includes FAQs for both booksellers and publishers.
