Dickie Erman asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hi Lois: I'm 100% new to this. Just published my book: Antebellum Struggles" with KDP. I don't know how my book appeared on Goodreads, but I'm glad it did. It's an "African-American historical fiction" novel on slavery and plantation drama in 1852. I've googled "How to get book reviews?" 'til I'm blue in the face. Any suggestions would be soooo appreciated. Thanks.

Lois McMaster Bujold My experiences with breaking in are too far out of date to be useful in the new millennium. Anyone else wants to chime in with suggestions, feel free to use the comments section below.

If you check your Goodreads "Author Dashboard", which should be accessible from the drop-down menu on the picture cartouche on the far upper right of your own profile page, there are an assortment of author tutorials from GR. I've not looked at them myself, so cannot speak to their utility.

Ta, L.
