New book coming out this week - Goodreads For Authors

I’m happy to announce that my new book, ‘Goodreads for Authors’, will be published this week, under my pre-marriage name Michelle Campbell-Scott.

I have been researching and writing this book since late last year, with the help of the wonderful Anna Maria of Coo Farm Press. Anna is a researcher and proof-reader who has a passion for books. It makes it a lot more fun working with someone who really believes in books!

I’m now thoroughly in love with Goodreads. I had been a member for about a year, but with no understanding of how it worked or what I was really here for.

Having to study it for weeks has made me understand it and the ethos behind it, with the result that I’m an an enthusiastic Goodreads convert!

The site was founded by Otis and Elizabeth Chandler in 2006. Otis loved looking at his friends’ bookshelves in their homes and wondered if it would be possible to set up a site which represented people’s bookshelves. The amazing result is the site we all know and love.

I have thoroughly enjoyed studying Goodreads for the past couple of months and will continue to immerse myself in it. It is now the main place I spent my non-writing time!

My book will be available on Amazon in Kindle format on February 20th and on other sites (and formats) at the end of March.

Donna Glaser Michelle, Do you plan on offering a PDF version? I've got the ebook and I'm loving it. I'd like a hard copy, though, which would make it easier to use while actually bopping around GR. If you go through Smashwords, you would have the option of PDF.

Michelle Booth Hi Donna. Thanks for downloading the ebook! Funnily enough, I was in the process of doing a Smashwords version when the news broke about Amazon buying Goodreads. So I'm updating the whole book. I'll send you the PDF when it's available. x

Donna Glaser Sweet! I'm certain the Amazon-GR union is going to change things up. Many thanks for the great info!
