Help request for reviewing book and other assistance

[Michael]

apologize for hijacking this post. I sincerely have very little knowledge about how Goodreads works, but I am reading!

I have recently written my first book ever. It's a children's book that addresses censorship and book bans in public libraries. Also supports inclusion acceptance and diversity. I'm from Alabama and the pressure on public libraries is starting to get ugly. So the title of my book is The Missing Books and the Secret Library. My goal is to get it into as many public libraries and parents hands to help them explain to children what is happening and why. I guess what I am asking for is some guidance or advice here. I don't know how to get reviews or boost this on Amazon kdp, etc.
I apologize for posting here out of the blue. I just didn't know how to get started.

Thanks 😊

I am glad you found the author section. I will now delete your other topic.

Maybe consider providing a link and the book title in your post, as books on censorship are really important (and I certainly want to read this book).

This is an incredibly important topic and I want to read this book, too.

You could contact Amazon and see if you can have the book available at a reduced price (some authors do this for kindle editions of their books).

So exciting Michael! I do free book reviews for budding authors like yourself and would love to read your story. Would you mind sharing more about it? https://www.jessicaysinha.com/request...

Yes the censorship in Alabama is awful to read about. Many of us would love to read the book. Please share details on publisher, distributer or how we can read the book.

Michael, I would love to read and review your book. I post free book reviews for fellow authors here and on Amazon and promote them on my channels on Instagram and Facebook: readandsparkle.

To learn more about promotion, join the Author's group here on goodreads. They'll be able to help you decide whether to offer PDFs to reviewers, and/or whether to use Amazon's promotional tools (or at least they'll tell you how).

I would also suggest joining the author's group Michael. It is specifically meant for authors so you will likely get much better and also much more relevant information than most of us could give you.
