It so pisses me off that authors and the promoters of these how-to services don't tell the truth about how pointless, time-consuming, and costly all the recommended activities are. I am not one to spin my wheels for very long, and like you, have tried most of the promotional methods to no avail (other than wasting my hard-earned money and time). I say, let's all start by being honest, and maybe we'll learn something useful from there."Honesty? What a novel concept! LOL
Hello, everyone. Here is the Ask the Author page for Tween/MG/YA writer Mikki Sadil:https://www.goodreads.com/author/7392...
Thanks for the invite, Alexandar. Here is my ask the author link.https://www.goodreads.com/author/5116...
Phew! I went through the links above me and asked at least one question to each author. Here is my ask the author page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/8420...
Here's mine! I'm pretty new so I'd like to be challenged! https://www.goodreads.com/author/8435...
xoxo
Here is mine. I am as open as any of my books and have no problems with any questions.https://www.goodreads.com/author/7146...
I really like the idea of this group and making the new feature really a success! I am a YA author, and here is my page:https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I find it frustrating that indie publishers don't do any marketing for the novels they've released. Surely they must have some links with press, and some track record if they're releasing a lot of novels. Even with no marketing budget they could at least use their social networks which are surely a lot bigger than an author's when first starting out.Here my profile anyway https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I think there will be always somebody interested, its just a case of finding them. Market your book to those you feel would be interested.
This is me. I'm a new author. Have my fist book out. Come over and say hello.

Hi, I write fantasy, science fiction and children's books.Here is my page:

I carried my Underwood typewriter through the streets of New York, looking for a pawn shop. I needed a drink, desperately. The mid-July temperature was at least ninety degrees. Whiskey would fix the rotten day. Whiskey was my mission. Endless, sweat-drenched trudging among unfriendly strangers until, finally, long miles later, a pawnshop. It was closed because of the Jewish holiday.

Here's mine: https://www.goodreads.com/author/7917...Thanks so much for the invitation! Some of the questions/answers I've read so far are really interesting.
I notice that group members have links to their Goodreads author page. I'm not sure how to find my link. Help?
This is my link. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...However, I *really* don't want any general questions on writing. With love, I'm up to my eyeballs in writers and writing groups.
Readers welcome. I write many genres but my current offerings are fantasy. I go for genre with a twist and try to write fantasy that can be enjoyed even by those who don't typically read fantasy.
Hi guys, Here is the link to my Ask the Author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/8118...
Look forward to any and all questions about writing, Rail Black, Hollywood, etc.
Hello thanks for the invite. I'm always looking for way to connect with fellow authors and readers.Jill

I'd love to participate but I'm having no luck finding where to set this up? I don't see an option for it in settings or dashboard.

I absolutely will field Bigfoot questions...https://www.goodreads.com/author/7146...
Little known fact; A Bigfoot once appeared on an illegal at the time pot farm in Northern California. He was given 3 doobies and a poncho to get started and lived his remaining days out peacefully as a very happy scarecrow.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/5415...There's my link! Thanks Alexandar for this group to share Q & A.
Amazingly, my novel fits in with world news/events happening today in Africa!

I see you are a registered author and since you joined this group it should show up under your profile on the main page of your Goodreads site.
Yes I'm a registered author, but didn't see where the link or button is on my dashboard. I'll check where it says I'm in the group, maybe there?
C.j. wrote: "Yes I'm a registered author, but didn't see where the link or button is on my dashboard. I'll check where it says I'm in the group, maybe there?"Yes, it's under group "Author Q & A" and will be under your dash on the right hand side.
I just finished my novella series, and would love if anyone had questions! I will gladly ask one back as well! Thanks! :)
This is frustrating, I cannot see anywhere to set up my Author Q&A, what am I missing?
