"Our pre-recorded Backstory interviews have been watched by thousands of people," Ms Sorensen said.
"That has given us the confidence to move into real time live streaming, so people can watch, comment and ask questions."
The inaugural Bendigo Bookclub live stream is on Wednesday, October 7.
The event will feature novelist Kate Mildenhall, joined by Bendigo book expert Sarah Mayor Cox to talk about The Mother Fault.
In November, Craig Silvey will be the bookclub guest, to talk about his highly anticipated new novel, Honeybee.
