SIA Showcase for Readers and Writers discussion

Hello fellow Indie Authors!
I posted this originally to the wrong group, still getting the lay-of-the-land on Goodreads Groups it seems.

I recently released my second book, a collection of short stories titled: The Games You Cannot Win (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...).

I am hoping to reach a broader audience by having my book voted up on the Indie Books - Short-Story Collections/Anthologies (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...) list, where I am currently at the very bottom.

If anyone can help that would be great. If you would like to read the book before voting I can provide a free copy.

Thank you for the help!

Hi MK!

Nice to see you!

Hi MK, welcome to the group. I actually looked for your book on the list and couldn't find it, so it must have gone up!

Hi Nat,
Thank you for looking. The Games You Cannot Win is showing up on page 4 of all the books on that list when I scroll through.

Okay, I'll go look again. :)

Clicked!

Indeed Ann,

How convenient, I happen to have a few good stories. Lol.

A big thank you to Jessica Hernandez for featuring me on her website :)

Hello Supportive and Awesome Friends,
I have a new book coming out soon. I will be announcing the release date and cover next week, but I wanted to reach out to this group first to share my excitement over the book and give anyone the chance to PM me about an ARC if they would like. I've found so many great resources to help promote my previous books in this group, I am so excited to share the next one with you all!

I wanted to share some big news with this community: My latest novel launched this past Thursday. Enemies of Peace is my third book and so far the most successful. It has peaked at #881 on the Kindle eBook list. Any tips on how to maintain the high rating? This book is also my first that is available on Kindle Unlimited, any tips on how to get people to keep reading?

Hi Friends,
I am so excited to share some big news. 2018 was a huge year for me and as I started to think about what I would need to do to become a full-time author, two projects came to me in the form of helping a podcast create a book and developing a workbook for an online course. Now that I can see the path the generating income as an author and a "publishing coach" (still toying with this term) I am so excited to dive into 2019. The only downside is that my WIP is on the sideline until I can leave my day job with all this extra work. How do those of you who manage a creative services business (formatting, editing, etc.) balance your time so you can still focus on writing? Thanks for the help!
