Dana Burkey (danaburkey) Hello! I am the moderator of the group The Book Was Better, and would love to start a Read for Review in the coming months. With over 1,000 members in my group, this would be a chance for authors to give away copies to the group in exchange for honest reviews.

My plan is to have a few new books available each month for readers to take advantage of. There can be a limit placed on the number of copies given out, and members will have a limited amount of time to submit reviews in order to get books from future listings. The group reads a lot of YA, but all genres are read by members.

Please message me if you are interested in taking advance of this way to share your work with the group and also get reviews in return!

If you want to check out the group, feel free to do so here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Dana --
I'd love to get the chance to have your group read and review my novel, LAST STRAW, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... If any of your members like crime thrillers with a little police procedure and romance thrown it, they will enjoy it. Let me know and I'll send out free PDF copies to any who are willing to read and review in a timely manner.
Best regards,
DRJ

Emma Jaye | 54 comments Dana, you'll be swamped with requests from authors. We all want reviews. I'd suggest simple starting a thread, or section on your group where authors can post their 'free for review' books. Then each author can limit the number of books they give away personally.

Keeping track of who has received books and if they have reviewed them will be a massive task, unless you sart something like the one for one section on my group.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... This is easy to administrate as I don't have to keep records, just swap books on and off the list.

good luck with it, any way to gain more reviews is greatly appreciated by us authors.


And if you want some book suggestions.....

(Yet another author unable to resist the urge for a free promotion LOL!)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) Thanks for the great response!!

I am finalizing some ideas and hope to get things kicked off mid-January once I am back from vacation, but will message each of you more info soon!

Oh, and the more the better! If I can do about 3 a month(at least) then group members will be happy, and authors have a way to get reviews! It's a win-win for sure!! :)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) Okay! I was feeling extra motivated by all the responses and went ahead and listed all the info for our R4R on my group page. Here is a link to the info for authors.
