Salon 4327 In Baltimore, MD hosts a Beautiful and Smart Book Club Talk!

A dozen women met up on a Sunday afternoon (3/15/09) in Baltimore at Salon 4327 to participate in the Beautiful and Smart Book Club Initiative. The women purchased the book, Psalms of the Daughter by Lynn Pinder, and had opportunities to meet the author while she read excerpts from her book. They also had opportunities to share their thoughts about the book and eat lots of good food!

Kudos to Salon 4327 Owner, Antionette Brown for coordinating another awesome book club activity!

In February 2009 in honor of Black History Month and I Love to Read Month, the Beautiful and Smart campaign launched Phase 2 of its literacy outreach with the Beautiful and Smart Book Club Initiative.

The Beautiful and Smart Book Club features a different Christian author from Voices of Thanksgiving: Christian Authors on Tour (http://www.christianauthorsontour.com/). The book of the month for February and March 2009 is Psalms of the Daughter (http://www.psalmsofthedaughter.com/) written by Lynn Pinder, an African American writer who self-published her first collection of Christian-themed poems and short stories in 2008.


The Beautiful and Smart Book Club campaign is a quick and easy way for beauty and barber shops to build customer rapport and raise extra money. Participating beauty and/or barber shops earn a 28% ($3.91) commission for every copy of Psalms of the Daughter sold to one of their book club members. Additionally, beauty and/or barber shops with at least five book club members will have their business name and contact information displayed on the Beautiful and Smart website and on its other promotional materials.

The Beautiful and Smart Book Club campaign is a win/win situation for everyone!

Possible Benefits to Beauty and/or Barber Shops:

  • Extra money for your business
  • Increased fellowship and networking opportunities for your customers
