The Ultimate Goodreads Guide for Authors by Barb Drozdowich

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I love ‘how to …’ books. Like most authors my life is very busy reading, writing, editing, re-writing and promoting to say the least. If I can save time and gain knowledge by picking someone else’s brain I’ll do so. I find Goodreads a maze but I know to be a successful author it’s a website I must get to grips with. I’m a visual person too. So ‘The Ultimate Goodreads Guide for Authors’ is up my street.
Like most books of this type it’s not something to read from cover to cover. A useful Table of Contents allows you to jump to your required learning so saving time. Drozdowich includes a significant number of screenshots in this eBook which cuts down on the narrative to its essential.
As an introduction to navigating this large site it’s very useful. I read it on a PC with Kindle software loaded where the screenshots are large and easily read. In addition I loaded it onto an Apple IPad where it’s an excellent read as the images are in colour and can be enlarged as required. I do have some reservations on trying to read it on a Kindle e-reader which is only monochrome and the images cannot be resized.
