Hi Paulette! The quiz for Big Magic is closed, but basically while reading one of our book club selections you can come up with questions and answers for a quiz that we will make as a group. On Discussion Day, you can submit them to us to be included. If a quiz has been made for a book on Goodreads you can find it on the book’s page, on the right side, by clicking on the hyperlink about trivia questions and quizzes. Readers can have fun testing out their knowledge of a book by doing those quizzes. I hope that explains it. :)

I love these questions. Nice additions.
If you have read the book, come up with a quiz question about anything related to its contents, as well as four answers. One answer should be correct, and the other three should be wrong. PLEASE tell us which one is the correct answer upon submitting your question.
When we get at least 10 questions we will set up the quiz for the book and give the Insecure Writer's Support Group Book Club members full credit.
Our next book will be announced on Monday, so lets aim for then to have enough questions for a quiz. That way I can tell all of you it's up when I send you a message about our next reading selection, and then you can check it out and have fun doing the quiz yourself. :)
