Teens on the Leading Edge of the Publishing World = Galley Review Group

Get a sneak peek at upcoming teen books! Read the newest titles by your favorite authors like Chris Crutcher, Sharon M. Draper or Laurie Halse Anderson. Help discover new authors on their way to literary stardom. Join the Galley Review Group.

KPL's Teen Services leads one of only 15 teen groups in the nation that reads galleys (pre-publication versions) of yet-to-be-released books in exchange for feedback from those teens. Galley Review Group teens also help select Teen's Top Ten, the best teen reads of the year.

The Galley Review Group meets monthly to talk about the galleys they're read, to learn how to write book reviews, and to get a sneak peek at upcoming teen books from publishers. Call 553-7807 for meeting dates.

Here's what members have to say about Galley Review Group:

"It's kinda cool to read new books before anyone else can."

"The Galley Group is lots of fun. We get to meet new people, read new books, and EAT!!! Plus, the publishers actually listen to our comments we write about the books."

"It allows me to discuss and communicate with others on their feelings toward the books."

"I thought that it would be fun to read books before they came out and to put my ideas into reviews! I love being able to look forward to coming and discussing what we read and learning how to write good reviews!"
