Thanks, Kathie. That’s good to know. Have you had experience with that?
There are lots of other ways to use a good Kirkus review besides posting it on Amazon, though.

]]>Glad you liked it! I had lots of “ahas!” like that while watching the webinar.

]]>Thank you, Sandra. Actually, you did help me decide what to do next! The easiest thing for me to do right now is have my suspense thriller put in paperback form, then start publicizing it, since I find writing articles and other types of free publicity fairly easy to do. I’ll let you know later how everything works out.

Hmmm…. Well, Christine, when I’m over-whelmed, I find that tackling the easiest task first works best for me. You might be different, but using my approach to overwhelm, which would be easier for you right now: uploading more books or shfting to paperback production?
I don’t, however, have a recommendation for which you should pursue first. It depends on your overall goals and what you want to accomplish with your books. If your current e-books are selling well, it makes sense to offer more books to people who like your writing so that they can get more of you. The other side of it, though, is that without a print version of your suspense-thriller, you’re missing out on an audience that prefers holding a book.
Not much help, eh?

]]>Janis, I have a couple of thoughts. First, Joan Stewart’s webinar described above contained a good amount of info on how to leverage Goodreads. You can learn more at http://bit.ly/GWJLvl.
Second, I tweeted the link to this article by the head of Goodreads’ author program a few wks ago — there might be something helpful there: http://bit.ly/RM74bU. There’s a link to the Goodreads author program at the end and you might get answers — or an e-mail address for someone who can help you solve your problem — there.
