First, find your book. Look for it in "Search books". Once you've found your book, you'll also need to find and accept your author page.
I don't know if you're this David Olsen: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
But if you are, you'll need to accept it as yours. It may take a few days for Goodreads to make sure it is yours.
Once you've set up your author page, you'll also need to set up your profile to be able to send and receive private messages. You'll need to follow this link:
https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?t...
Then go down to "Who can send me private messages" and click anyone.
To get onto a review group, go to the Reading Rounds of Review Group here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
You may also want to try out the One for One review group here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
That's a good choice if you don't want to, or can't commit to a review group (where you would review four books). You can go to the one for one, read one of the books on the list, review it on Amazon and Goodreads, then post your goodreads and Amazon reviews on the thread, give a link to your book, and then the Moderator of the One for One list will add your book to the list.
If you want to join a review group, you would find a group that says "Now Forming". The moderator would then add you to a group of 10 authors. Once the group is full, you would be assigned to read four books, four authors would be assigned to review you. One person will be in your blind spot. This is done to avoid reciprocal reviews.
In the review round there is only one group that is in the process of forming. But new groups are created every few weeks. The one that is in the process of forming is a "Clean" review round. If the book you want reviews for is clean, meaning no on screen love scenes, swearing, or violence, you could comment on the thread and see if you can fit in.
Here is a link to that thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
If you have any more questions, please message me. You can also message Kat as well, here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Go to the down pointing button that looks like this: V next to the button that says Follow Author, click on it, choose "Send message" and then you'll be taken to a page where you can send a private message.
Good luck!
