Everyone else may know these two things but I didn’t…

…until last week.

This is my cent and a half on Goodreads giveaways: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

The tags, besides being used for search engines, are also used to sort the entries available in the giveaway.

So if you want to find out what science-fiction entries are available, key in: sci-fi or scifi, as well as science-fiction. Even though these all mean the same thing, you’ll see different books under each of these categories depending on what the Author put in the tag line for their entry

There are numerous categories, even one for 'giveaways' of all things.

Authors: If you’ve ever edited a giveaway, (this is the second piece of info here,) you know this removes you temporarily until you’re re-approved. However, changing just the tag line does not remove your entry.

I figure there’s an extra half cent in there somewhere, maybe the link to my giveaway above, so that’s my two cents. lol

Ah, glad to hear I'm not the only one who thought this info to be useful.

Actually, I didn't know them either. Thank you for sharing it. I will keep this in mind when I get my book ready for sale.

The nice thing about the side bar sort, is you can click more and go through the pages to see every conceivable category that is listed. Makes it very easy.
