Hi, I'm Peter M Browne - Written several books, fiction, non-fiction, biography. My latest book is Oh, NantucketIt is about a unique minority and their life and struggles.
Hello everyone! My name is Zion Brew and I am from the Sunshine State. I am a Believer as well. I have always had a passion for writing love stories, which grew as I grew. I am a little shy and this is the first time I have shared my work. I am open to any questions and feedback as well. Enjoy your day!
My first novel is titled Jewels of my Heart, and can be found here:

Hey guys! Awesome to be part of this forum♥️. I am Swit La Pound, a fairly new author from South Africa. I have four books published this far. I am passionate about Women and Children's issues, especially revolving around Abuse, and also celebrating my culture and heritage. My first two, Flower in Flames(fiction) and Emotions(memoir) (book 1 & 2 in the "It's a men's world" series) revolve around Abuse of Women and children, the reality and the mental and behavioral implications. My third, RUGGED Riches, My love, My Billionaire, is a romance... With murder, revenge and intrigue to offer. The fourth, What if? Absurd Short Stories, is a collection of short stories that celebrates African culture... The muti, search for immortality, inhuman transformations and more. The last one, currently ongoing, though available for FREE reads, is Randomness OVERLOAD. This one has no genre, it's a fusion and blend or the chaotic creativity that occurs in my head.. It has poetry, short entries, short stories and mere thoughts. I love reading almost every genre, as long as the story is unique and captivating❤️❤️❤️❤️
HI! I just found this forum, and I'm excited by the activities here! I'm looking forward to being an ARC for children's book authors! How cool is that!I am a recently retired librarian. I love to read books - middle grade and YA. I just published the Mound Builder series for middle grade readers. It has two story lines - one set in today's pandemic environment and the other set in the Mound Builder civilization of 74 BC North America. I love writing!
Hi,. I am Lis. I write primarily Middle Grade/YA novels and I write a ton of short stories that are published in literary journals. My short fiction is mostly literary fiction, some mainstream. I read a ton and I am always on Goodreads looking for new titles. Almost everything I read comes from bloggers or readers I follow on here.
Hello group. I am an author of about a dozen books (it looks like more if you go to my profile, because I edited a literary journal for 7 years and it lists every issue). My latest is a sci-fi thriller called Ezekiel's Brain. I'm doing everything I can think of to publicize it, and it's selling pretty well on Amazon, but I'd love to get more reviews. I've got a cool video about the book on YouTube at https://youtu.be/xyHpK2OV49E if you want to take a look. I'm into writing and very experienced so I'm looking forward to some productive discussions. All genres are open to me, except maybe romance, in terms of talking about the joy and pain and sometimes even the feeling of success when writing. It's a craft and it's one that's never mastered... not by me anyway.
Dr. Theresa (this is you)What Dumbass Doctors Tell You: A Patient’s Perspective. A breast cancer book from a patient's perspective. The theme of this book is patient self-advocacy. The need for the patient to be knowledgeable in cancer expectations from diagnosis to surgery to post-follow-up care. Patients have a right to second opinions, to have providers they feel comfortable with, and to self-advocate when they believe they have a serious health concern such as cancer.

I like the video Casey. I did not know video book trailers were a thing until I was introduced to them on goodreads.com. I sure had a lot of fun making mine, but are they an effective marketing tool?

Hi K.R., librarian, author -- true bibliophile. Congratulations on your books. Getting connected is the best way I have found for promoting your work. Good luck.

Putting 'Ezekiel's Brain' on my TBR. I'll have to get my daughter to help me make a trailer. That's above my pay grade. :)

Hello Scott,
I am a new author, but I recently started a group here on goodreads.com. It is called Authors' Review Exchange. It is a place for authors to hook up with other authors to read each other's work then write a an honest review for Goodreads.com. As you are a seasoned author, I hope you will check it out and consider joining -- it certainly can't hurt :)
Cheers!

In March 2021, Sandeep Jayaram's novelette Chicken hit #1 Bestseller in Horror on Amazon. Within three weeks, it was picked up for adaptation to film. The writer is currently neck-deep in turning this into a screenplay. As of today, CHICKEN only has 5 star reviews from around the world.

Hi! I'm L.C. Riley and I am the author of "Book Cover," a romance novel that I published on Amazon yesterday. Yay! Writing is my passion and reading is a hobby that takes me away from the real world for a bit. I'm more so into the romance and mystery genres, though.I live with my husband, kids, and dogs in Cincinnati. If I'm not reading something interesting, I'm being creative in every way possible.

Hello! I'm an avid book reader and reviewer and I run a bookstagram @ram_reads with 1,600 followers
I love helping to support indie published(small publishing house) and self-published authors.
You can hire me to read, review (on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc), create creative feature Instagram/TikTok posts, and conduct an Author Interview with you on Instagram. I have various packages to choose from and my pricing is very reasonable.
I've already worked with several self-published authors and you can reach out to them to see what they thought of my work.

Send me a message here on Goodreads, an email at ram_reads@yahoo.com, or check out my Instagram page @ram_reads to see what the posts would look like and send me a direct message there.
I'll read your synopsis first to see if it sounds like something I would enjoy reading, I read almost anything.
Paying for a review/creative social media posts doesn't guarantee a higher star review. The payment is for my time and for the reach of my platform.
I look forward to hearing from y'all!

Hi everyone. I just started using Goodreads and I'm still exploring it. I like how I can now connect with so many people. I plan to self-publish my debut book of poetry "Thoughtcrime" in May 2021. I am so naive is this community but I believe I am going to love it here as and when I learn and grow. I hope I'll make some great friends here on Goodreads. Good day!
