Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I need guidance in how to publish the ePub version of my book on Goodreads. Any help with the steps I need to take would be appreciated.

You mean, add it to the database? Or publish it as a free read/download?

Sandra, thank you for replying. I'm probably confused about this, but I thought GR authors could sell their ePub books on Goodreads (I could swear I saw something somewhere); I'd like to be able to sell from GR or allow download free reads from GR, whichever. In either case, I'm not sure where the appropriate upload page is.

To get to the page, click "Edit Details" on the book you'd like to attach the ePub file to. Then click "Upload an E-book". You will be taken to this page (non-site link to example image!)

Now, as far as I can tell, that page only addresses free books (with the option to turn off downloads). As for how to sell your book, I don't think many librarians are familiar with that, so the best place to ask is the Author Feedback group. see rivka's post.

This feature is not currently available, as some kinks are being worked out.

Amara and Rivka, Y'all deserve extra potato salad for taking time on July 4 to give the latest about GR and epub files! It seems that maybe GR will offer the feature at some point, after kinks are eliminated. Sounds good.
Thanks so much!
