Learn more about how to promote your books with special tools on Goodreads. Each slideshow demonstrates a different aspect of the Goodreads Author Program.
.
Get the word out about your book! Here are some of the promotional tools available on Goodreads:
Sign up to advertise your book to up to the Goodreads Community—16,000,000 readers!
List a book giveaway to generate pre-launch buzz.
Lead a Q&A discussion group for readers.
Participate in discussions on your profile, in groups and in the discussion forums for your books
.
Author Profile, Author Dashboard, and Widgets
All members of Goodreads have regular reader profiles where they can review books, add friends, and post information about themselves. When an author signs up for Goodreads, he or she begins with this basic user profile.
For any book listed in the Goodreads catalog, you can click on the author’s name to find the author profile. This page lists all of the author’s published work, whether he or she is a member of Goodreads or not. When an author joins the Author Program his or her user profile will be merged with the author profile. Becoming a Goodreads Author carries special privileges, such as the ability to
edit profile information,
add book cover images,
write a blog,
list quotes that you like
upload your videos,
promote events, book launches, book signings,
and start featured author groups.
After you have signed up for the Author Program, your log-in process does not change: You will still use the same username and password, but now your user profile will point to your author profile. You will also have access to a special Author Dashboard that contains useful links and statistics about your books.
