Officials of the Guild
These are some of the officials of The Global Reading Guild. Alongside their own roles, they also reach out to authors about the possibility of having their book on the Guild spotlight — and each can be written to directly by email.

Author spotlight outreach
Every official also speaks with authors
In addition to the role shown on their card, each of these officials reaches out to authors and publishers about the possibility of having their book featured on the Guild's spotlight. So an author may hear from any of the addresses above, not only the outreach desk. Authors who would rather make the first move are welcome to write to any one official — the note will be passed to the right desk.
Reaching the Guild
One address is usually enough
Unsure who to write to? Send your note to the coordinator and it will be passed to the right desk — membership questions, chapter ideas, author proposals and partnership enquiries are all welcome.
