Goodreads Reviewers' Group discussion

Hey everybody! We know as authors, what we do is hard work. We write, we edit, we revise and go through the slow torture of it all over-and-over again to make our stories close to perfection. Then after, when our story is published, we dive into a new aspect of being a published author; promotion. This part is a bit tricky. However, I found as authors we could support each other. In trade of our books we provide reviews for another. If the reviews become detailed wall texts or a simple line, at least it's honest and one more to the list. So, this is what I'm promoting, my book (Beast Blood) for yours and in the end we both obtain new reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. As we all know, reviews are the needed life-force to books and each one adds a spark. Just comment and let me know. Have a wonderful day everyone! :)

Hi M.A.,
I would be interested in doing a review swap with you. My book is a romance.


If you are interested, you contact me at [email protected]

Kind Regards,
D.C. Triana

I'd love to help you out here! Great idea. My book is about a zombie apocalypse, set in London. Drop me a message!

I'd like to throw my hat and book into the ring. My books a werewolf throwdown. My guess is that the first two posters have already traded so J.S. do you want to trade?

I did this with another author here last month and it worked out well for us.

Wonderful! I'll send all of you a private message with my e-mail and the information to a free e-book.

Hey,
I am interested in a book swap. I offer this in most of my posts and often get readers, but another author is great!

Fantastic! I'll send you a message with the details for a copy of Beast Blood. However, as I'm extremely busy this weekend, please excuse the tardy exchange. Yet, expect it no later than Monday night. :)

After I finish up M.A.'s book I'm reviewing another friend's epic fantasy (love them!) so I'll be read out for a few but will check back soon because I'm enjoying the exchanges.

Sure.

I tried to do this with another writer and was told it was against Goodread rules. Did you check that?
If not, I would love to swap a review for a review.

To my knowledge this is within Goodreads policy. I know spamming people to read your book or advertising through their email, can get someone in trouble. Yet, this is a request, based upon consent who are very much in the know. Any one else know if its against policy?

As for a swap, wonderful! Let me know if you would still like a copy, please, and I'll private message you on Goodreads a way to obtain your free e-book. :)

My book is a murder mystery with a little bit of romance thrown in. Is this the sort of stuff you read? Would you be willing to look at it and I will look at yours.
Thanks.
Peggy

Yup, I've read murder mysteries by Karen Robards and Catherine Coulter and so on and really enjoyed them. Unless, your read is downright slasher- gruesome. Otherwise, then I should enjoy it. :) Do you have a goodreads or Amazon link to your book?
Also, I'll send you my last e-book I have to giveaway through a private message on Goodreads.
