This is a newly formed group, so some of the following may change if I feel a different way may run more smoothly...

The purpose of this group is two-fold:

1- This is the place for readers to come and find new authors to add to their shelves. If you enjoyed the book/author you have read, you have the opportunity to spread the word and help your author grow to what he/she aspires to be...a known and respected author! To do this, you merely need to post your review on Goodreads...just as you would any of your other reads.
As many of our authors are "putting themselves at your mercy", I do ask that if you rate the book any less than a 3 to kindly not post a review. Which leads us to the second purpose of this group:

2- This is the place for independent authors to go in search of readers/in search of their dream. Authors are here to try and promote their books and become noticed on Goodreads.

DO NOT PROMOTE YOUR BOOK IN THIS THREAD! GO to "Authors Spam Here".

Sounds interesting. Shoot an email to me with which book you want to be selected first. And remember to stop by the Author's Rules section and read through them.

I just removed some posts from authors promoting their writing. If you see you were removed, please re-post at "authors spam here".
