Explanation

[R.]

This folder has been created to facilitate communications between the members and the moderators. If a member would like to see a particular genre in a review group, that member can start a topic in this folder. The moderators will review any topics created here and, if there appears to be enough author interest, initiate a genre review group.

As a suggestion, it would be more likely that there will be enough interest in starting a group, if the genre is not too specific. For example, Contemporary Romance is less likely to attract enough authors to participate in the group than Contemporary Fiction or Romance.

Members who wish to propose a review group for beta reading can do so. Simply note in the request that this is for beta reading group. Assignments will be made as usual. However, critical comments will be shared only with the author; no formal review. Books do not have to be available on Amazon but do have to have a Goodreads page. The expectation will be that the works are not as polished as ones in a peer review group, but the authors should make every effort to make their works as readable as possible.

I'd like to submit a book for review. It is non-fiction. Is there such a group?

Check the review group requests in this folder. If there is a request that matches your book, comment on it. If there is not, create a new topic describing the desired review group. When enough members comment on that topic, a moderator will start a new review group.
