Committee encourages members to apply to present Club Book Raps

Do you have a new book coming out in the next few months?

Would you like to present it at a Book Rap at the National Press Club?

If so, please let the Club's Books & Author Committee know.

While our criteria are very high and based on many different factors, we do make an extra effort to accommodate Club members. We hold Book Raps on journalism, history, politics, novels and -- once in a while -- children's books.

We need at least three months' notice before a book is published.

We don’t consider self-published or e-only books, paperbacks, poetry, self-help or cookbooks.

We're also looking for authors who feel confident they can bring at least 100 people to their book event.

If you think your book qualifies, please contact B&A Committee Chairman Joe Motheral at [email protected].
