Hi, Lisa!!

I'm only a member of three other groups. About to x membership in two of them LOL!

Good to have you here!

Welcome, Ellie! It's good to have you in the group!

This section should be formatted like this:

Title of post: Book Title/Author
Body of post: Synopsis, review, comments, rating.

Get to it!

This section will be a place where you can advertise your upcoming releases. Go for it.

I'd like to have at least two reader mods. If you're interested, drop me a line.

I'd like to have another writer mod. If you're interested, drop me a line.

List books by authors of this group here you'd like to see reviewed for the poll.

This section is for readers/bloggers to introduce themselves. Give us links to your blog or reviews written on Goodreads! :)

This topic is for introductions of authors. Tell us about you, your books, and your blog/website!

This group is being created because there's a need for it. Here's the idea:

Indie authors need reviews, right? Folks who run book blogs need books to review, right? Most indie authors have a blog themselves. Indies promote indies and the book bloggers that love them.

We all win.

Here are the caveats:

If you are an indie author and are chosen to be reviewed, you must be able to provide a DIGITAL copy of your book to each reviewer.

If you are a reviewer, you must be willing and able to read the book offered by the author.

One author every two weeks will be chosen by the group. You may NOT nominate yourself.

Any READER who behaves badly or doesn't participate will be ejected from the group.

Any AUTHOR who behaves badly or doesn't participate in the reviews for others, will be ejected from the group.

There is a place to list your books and link to them. Please don't put anything other than your website link or author page link in your signature.

Here's the way it is:
Authors give away hundreds of thousands of their books every month in the hopes that a review or two will pop up. This group is to help in the guarantee that you'll get a review.

Your reviews will be good and bad. Not everyone will like your work. If you don't respond well to bad reviews, don't join. If you're an open-minded individual, hop on in and participate.

Readers! If an author behaves badly, let ME know. There will be no flaming of the authors in the group, they will just be quietly ejected from the masses. There are no second chances here.

Authors! If a reader behaves badly, let ME know. There will be NO flaming of the readers in the group, they will just be quietly ejected from the masses. There are no second chances here.

Invite anyone you want, just be sure they understand these rules and agree to adhere to them.

I will make threads for new release announcements, author introductions, and reader introductions.

This group is about promoting the members of the group. Please, if you want to post a review here, the review should be of an author who is a member.

Most of all, enjoy the networking opportunity this group will provide. Let's get together and have some FUN.
