There are several questions that people ask each other when they get together:
“How’s work?”
“How is your family?”
“What are you reading?”
And chances are if you’re not listed on Goodreads…it might not be your book.
Goodreads is “the world’s largest site for readers and book recommendations.” People log in to find out what their friends are reading, what other people like, and book club suggestions. With 40 million members and 1.5 billion books, Goodreads is one of the easiest and most effective ways to gain an audience for your book.
Forty million readers is an obvious reason to participate on Goodreads. But what are some of the hidden advantages to being an author listed on the website? How about:
- Personal interaction/online discussions with your readers
- Reviews from readers that might help you with future manuscripts
- An author “dashboard” that allows you to track statistics on who is reading your book
