Dear Ann, Thank you for creating this space for new writers like myself. You are awesome! I am not sure if this question should go to you or not. I set up a KDP 5 day event for free ebooks on Amazon. Can I connect it on goodreads as well without paying to the goodreads giveaway program? How do they work together, and how do I connect goodreads and Amazon? Thanks so much! James Ermilio Warren

Ann Livi Andrews Hi James,

I'm glad you're enjoying the forum!

As for connecting Goodreads and Amazon, I know that you can link individual books to their Amazon page via your Author Profile, but I don't have any experience with connecting an Amazon promo with a Goodreads Giveaway. I don't think there's a way to sidestep paying.

Here is a link that lists all of our Topics regarding Goodreads Giveaways. You might be able to find an answer here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/comme...

If not, I would reach out to a Goodreads Librarian or Goodreads Customer Service. Their wait time can be a little long as they get a lot of service requests/questions but they do always respond.

Thanks,
Ann
