Behind the Scenes of a Major Book Club with Bad B***h Book Club Founder Mackenzie Newcomb

Word-of-mouth, including through book clubs, is such an important way for readers to discover books, so I am very excited that my guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Mackenzie Newcomb, founder of the Bad B***h Book Club, which has 32,000 members.

Today, we talk about:
