I have some sad news for readers and writers of gay fiction: InsightOut Book Club is being shut down. I just heard from ISO's editor, Michael Connor, that they were bought out by BMG, and that the club will be shut down sometime in July.
I don't know about the rest of you, but ISO's catalogue was often my best way of hearing about new gay fiction.

We're working on a blog post about that right now
How do book clubs work and any suggestions for clubs like ISO?
How do clubs like this work? I was a member and I was always curious. Buy 5 for a .01 each and you only have to buy 2 at regular price in the next year. Buy one book and get the rest at 50% off. All the books looked like regular hardcovers you'd buy at Borders or Barnes and Noble so how were they able to offer such a discount? I thought maybe it was like the clearance sections at the big box stores but the books weren't always old releases.
Any similar places to get deep discounts on gay books?
