Studies show that when people read an excerpt from a book, their likelihood of buying and reading it increases dramatically. BookTrib, a division of longtime leading literary marketing and promotion firm Meryl Moss Media Group, has put together BOOKTRIB’S LIT PICKS, a collection of first chapter excerpts from genres such as contemporary and historical fiction, thrillers, fantasy, science fiction, romance, self-help, memoirs, and more. The e-book includes offerings from major publishers like Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and HarperCollins, to midlist titles and self-published works from acclaimed emerging authors.

Books represent: #1 New York Times bestselling author, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Booklist featured review, Kirkus featured review, Library Journal featured review, USA Today bestselling author, Silver Falchion Award winner, Bram Stoker Award winner, Edgar Award nominated author, and Goodreads Choice Award nominated author.

The latest version of the e-book includes offerings from well-known authors such as Rhys Bowen, Dean Koontz, Tessa Bailey, Mark Greaney, James Comey, Mike Bond, Laura Hankin, Gill Paul, Terry Hayes and more.

The first issue of LIT PICKS, released last Christmas, was downloaded thousands of times and received a ton of praise.

Amanda Waggoner, a NetGalley reviewer, said, “I always love seeing these sample books. It’s a fantastic way to learn about new authors or the latest works by well-known authors. There are so many books on offer that it’s great to get a sample to help narrow down my list. I especially appreciate that this sample covers so many genres.”

“Wow! All I can say is wow,” said Naomi Jones on NetGalley. “If you’ve been looking for a new read, look no further. I love this concept and was amazed at how long it is.”

“This is a great idea,” said Carol Holland, a reviewer at NetGalley. “I picked it up not knowing what to expect, but I quickly saw that the table of contents listed four or five books from each genre. There was also a description of what the book was about, a quick preview, some information about the author, and the first chapter. I think something like this should come out fairly regularly, like every month with new and old books. I know that publishers’ book catalogs, etc. have this information, but it’s interesting to have just a handful of books from each genre from all publishers in a quick, easy reference guide.”

In short, BOOKTRIB’S LIT PICKS offers readers of all tastes and preferences hungry for their next read excerpts from a wide selection of books that are sure to enrich their spring/summer reading list.
