Hello Vincent, I am the author of two spy thriller books: The Ericksen Connection and The Ryzhkov Vendetta. I am seeking readers who are interested in the Thriller category you list. Can I list each book separately under this Thriller category? Should I reference it as a keyword - Request Review? I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you, Barry L. Becker
Vincent Lowry Hi Berry,
Yes, you can list each separately under the Thriller category. You can reference it however you'd like.

Vincent: I am trying to give away 100 Kindle books. I have their form completed. It wants to know the ASIN number. I put that in right from Kindle. It says there is no such number and no such book; well yes there is! Now what do I do? BTW, I sent you an email asking if I could hire you to market my books on Good reads. I never heard from you. Dr. Watkins. [email protected]
Vincent Lowry Hi Dr. Watkins,
Thank you for your email. I'm in the consulting business of helping authors understand how to market their book vs. me marketing their books for them. If you are interested in that service, please let me know.

Regarding the ASIN number, is the book you are trying to giveaway on the Goodreads platform? In other words, can you find the book on Goodreads?

Hi, I'm both author for the books I have written but I'm publisher too for books of other authors. So I have my own Facebook account with my name and surname. Can I use different Facebook pages (under my account) one for authors in order to promote books of different author ? Tahnks
Vincent Lowry Hi Sarah, I know you can have many pages on Facebook, so I'm thinking the answer is yes to your question. But see if Facebook puts a restriction on it for some reason...

I just read an article that SEEMS to be saying that, effective on August 22, 2022 (NOW) eBooks can ONLY be purchased online by KINDLE devices because Google now refuses to allow sales of products that are paid for outside the reach of Google. Is that true?
Vincent Lowry Hi Brooke, that is the first time I've heard of that policy. I'd be surprised if that were true.

Vincent, I am a new author. I published my first book on June 22nd. I wanted to get into the authors group on Goodreads and post my new book as well, but I can't seem to figure out how? Can you give me some advice?
Vincent Lowry Hi Frank, were you able to join the group? If it's the Goodreads Authors/Readers group, you should be able to click join. If it's a different group and it's private, you need to be let in.

Hi Vincent, Are reviews that are written here interchangeable with Amazon? I want to share one of the reviews I'd written on Amazon but I can't quite figure out how. I've tried to write the review on my Kindle, and my Kindle App on my PC, but it will only allow me to give a rating. I hope you can help with this. Thanks so much. Lorna
Vincent Lowry Hi Lorna, as far as I've seen, reviews on Goodreads don't get posted on Amazon. And the same is true the other way around.

Hi Vincent, I just joined Authors/Readers group on Goodreads. Yay! Thank you for hosting and moderating. Just an fyi....in the "group profile section" for resources: https://eauthorresource.wordpress.com/ (inactive for 1.5 years) https://ratemybookvideo.wordpress.com/adult-fiction-videos/ (last post was in 2016). Would you like me to help search more recent ones and send them to you?
Vincent Lowry Hi Carolyn, when you say search more recent ones, what do you mean?

Thank you for the interviews but I'm looking to interact with other writer's about the process of writing. Can you assist me with that? Thanks again for all the work you put into getting interviews to me.
Vincent Lowry Hi Joanne, my marketing group could likely assist with that goal.

How can I leave this group? I was looking for a group of writer's who discuss writing. Do you know of such a group of Goodreads?
Vincent Lowry Hi Joanne, what group are you trying to leave?

Hi Vincent. I was just browsing in Goodreads and looked at this group. The system asked me if I wanted to continue with Facebook, and I clicked on it. So, am I already in this group? If the answer is yes, how do I submit my book for readers to review my works? If not, how do I join? Blessings, C.M. Teller (My pen name)
Vincent Lowry Hi CM, were you able to join the group?

How can make GoodReads work best for me as a new author?
Vincent Lowry Hi Bryan, I'd create an author account on Goodreads and join the various groups on the site. I'd also communicate with members to make friends as well.

Hi Vincent. I tried to post on the author-reader group, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Do I need to be approved for entry first? I'm an author and have an Author Dashboard on Goodreads. I'm seeking beta readers for my new novel (not published yet, 3rd draft). I'm willing to swap beta reads with other authors. Is your forum the right place for it? Thanks. JS Morrison Author, "The Perfection of Fish
Vincent Lowry Sorry for the late reply, JS. Yes, I think you have to be a member first.

Hola Vincent, mi nombre es Sergio Nuñez, soy Argentino, escritor novel. Fanático y empedernido lector del género de terror y misterio, aunque si debo ser sincero, puedo enfrascarme en leer hasta los avisos publicitarios del periódico si es necesario¡ Gracias por aceptarme en el grupo¡ Me interesaría una reseña de mi humilde Novela Corta "El Criptógrafo"...Quién se atrevería a leerla?
Vincent Lowry Hola Sergio,
No hables espanol. Yo solo hablo un poco.
Lo siento.

Hi Vincent, I have signed up but cant seem to introduce myself on the Author/Reader's page. Any ideas?
Vincent Lowry Hi Nicky, are you trying to introduce yourself on my group Goodreads Authors/Readers? If it's Author/Reader page outside of my group, which it sounds like it is, try contacting the Goodreads staff about it. I don't work at Goodreads. I only moderate a group here. Thanks!
