Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hi! We are a team of researchers at Yale, University of Chicago, and University of California-Davis who are looking for both authors and Goodreads readers to interview for a project studying the book publishing industry. We would like to conduct interviews (roughly 30 min in length) to better understand Goodreads users' reception and evaluation of authors’ books . If you are interested, please contact us at [email protected]. Thanks!

At 94 years old, I have six books on Amazon/Kindle, working on seventh. Books are a variety of genre/subject/SF/non-fiction/bio, but put together they cover 20th century USA history. I continually look for ways to promote and sell my books. If my experiences would be of interest, my name is Mariam Cheshire, [email protected]
My latest book is "Stories About the Hotel Westward Ho."

Hello Greta,
I am both a reader and now a Goodreads Author too so I would like to take part in the project.

Thanks
Vikas

I'm new to Goodreads but not to publishing (three novels; two nonfiction books). My work is varied, but my favorite genres are paranormal thrillers and horror. I'd be interested in participating if I qualify.

Wow!
I am impressed and encouraged!
I am in my 70's and I have recently acquired the desire to write,
but I thought that perhaps I am too old.
