Genre Specific Review Groups discussion

Peer review groups require that authors contact each other to provide review copies. Many people do not want to post their email addresses on a public forum.

To privately message another Goodreads member:

1) Go to the member's Goodreads page.

2) There may be a button or link to send a message.

3) If there is no message link, there should be a gray down arrow next to the Follow Author button. Click on the arrow. There may be a send message link in the pull down menu.

4) If both 2 and 3 do not work, it is likely that the person has both an author and a regular Goodreads page. In this case, go to the peer review group topic and look for the post where the author signed up for the review group. Click on the member name. This should take you to the regular Goodreads page where you can contact the author as in step 2 or 3.

Since Ihave Amazon prime I often can read books for free or buy them very cheaply. Is it OK to acquire a book that way for review?

Of course. Authors offer review copies as participants in review groups, but it is always better for reviewers to get the book through Amazon.
