message 1: by Natasha (new)

Natasha House (natashahouse) | 19 comments I was wondering if any authors and readers would be interested in joining a group where we feature authors each month and try to get them up to 25 + honest reviews on amazon. I'm part of one already, but they are always booked. Was thinking about starting up one. Any takers?? Even if it helps authors a little bit, it all counts! It's be through Facebook.

Linda Laforge (lindalaforge) | 4 comments Why don't we just get started right here?
I need reviews for Ashes: A Girl. a Baby. a Mass Extermination. It's a sci-fi, end of the world story with some humour in it. I would be happy to read your's too! Just message me.


message 10: by Tom (new)

Tom (tom_shutt) | 87 comments I will help out as long as there isn't a conflict with Goodreads regulations, as Justin said. I'm editing my own novella right now and I love to help indie authors get the attention they deserve.

I'd also like to point out an excellent, fast-expanding group called The Source, which screens and reviews self-published books in order to recommend truly "good reads".

N. Onym | 14 comments The Harlot Goddess by N. Onym
The Harlot Goddess

If you're willing, this book is horror. The cover art is beautiful, but the contents are violent and graphic. This is horror, not YA, or simple erotica, or the tale of a woman scorned. This book has been turned down thus far for review due to the severity of the subject matter. This is not for the timid or easily offended reader. This book will disturb you.

Spring Horton (springhorton) | 21 comments Sounds like a great idea!

C.M.J. Wallace | 193 comments Hi, Natasha,

Thank you for offering to do this.

Please explain how the group would be set up. Would participants buy others' books to review or would authors be expected to provide free copies? (I was in a Facebook group in which we bought the books we wanted to review, so it benefited authors through sales also.)

How will you decide which authors to feature?

Would there be a pool of books from which readers can choose?

Thanks!

Natasha House (natashahouse) | 19 comments This is the Facebook link https://www.facebook.com/groups/67143...

There will be 3 chosen authors a month. The author will provide free copies of their book/s in exchange for honest reviews.

I'm going to start a list of authors, and it will be first come first serve. February I am doing a "theme" of romance (minus erotica.)

Please share the link if you know more people who'd love to help authors, or are authors who'd like this group.

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) | 327 comments What genres will you cover?


message 20: by Natasha (new)

Natasha House (natashahouse) | 19 comments I'm just putting authors on a list in order they comment on my post on facebook. I'm doing all kinds of genres except erotica.

message 23: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarahvistica) | 22 comments I am in the process of getting a professionally edited version of my book published. Hopefully by March/April at the latest. So at the moment I don't think I would get very good reviews on the current published version.

I just joined the group on there and would like to join the list of authors.
