Lucy Carter | 149 comments If you are a Goodreads author who wants publicity, please take this survey!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... I will be posting your answers to my questions on my website, and I will make sure to notify my followers and the members of the Goodreads authors groups I have joined whenever I post a new survey's results.
Thanks for cooperating!

I wanted to fill your survey but it contains too many questions with no option about skipping them, like the personnality test. This was getting too personal to my taste. You should not make your survey questions as obligatory to respond to. Right now, you will make many authors stay away because of that.

Lester Fisher | 215 comments What are you planning to post. Seems like that out to be proprietary information for your use only. I will look it over, but if Michel is right, I probably won't submit it too you.

Hi, guys! Thanks for your suggestions! I took your suggestion, Michel, to not make the survey questions obligatory. None of the questions are marked as "Required" now, so if there are any questions that you do not feel comfortable answering, you can just skip them.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Lester Fisher | 215 comments No problem, the test did not seem to invasive. Not sure if I would want a job recruiter to see it, but then I never have to apply for a job again,, so just don't sell it to data miners.

I was planning to post authors' responses, particularly the written responses, just to help people learn more about individual Goodreads authors and hopefully support them. It's sort of like journalism, I guess. The responses will not be sold or used for commercial purposes.
You do not have to submit a response if you do not want to. This survey is not mandatory or anything. :)

If you go to my Goodreads profile, underneath my name, there will be the word Website, and you will see a hyperlink to my website next to it.
This is the website's URL:

My own computer also signaled an attempt at intrusion after I viewed the survey. I say to others: don't go there!

I went to your website link but it doesn't appear that you have posted anything about the survey that you had us take.

Yeah, I did not post anything about the survey on my website. I am planning to post articles about authors' responses once I receive submissions where respondents answer "yes" to the first question. As of right now, I haven't received such submissions, so that's why I haven't posted anything related to it, yet.
