Advance & Beta Readers discussion

Hi there! This has been a dream for me to start this group. Now that this has become a reality, I would love thoughts on how the members want to run this group. Sue

Just one suggestion. When reviewing, I think it's better simply to say 'I received a review copy of this book.' A number of reviewers have had their reviews removed from Amazon because the term 'in exchange for an honest review' can be interpreted as payment (in the sense of a free copy).

Very good point, Kath. I have updated the group description to reflect that.

Hi , I am Geet from India. I am an avid reader and happy to join this group ❤

Welcome, Geet! I hope the authors will add lot of books to the reading shelf - so that you will get to read many of them :). I see one book there now - more should be on the way as members settle in. Sue

Hey, I am Anish. An avid reader and occasional poet.
Intrested to know more about this group.

Welcome to the group, Anish. In short, this group has two objectives - 1) to connect authors to beta readers so that they can get feedback on their work 2) to get free books/ARC's to passionate readers who love to provide reviews/comments! I hope you will enjoy this group. We are still in early stage. I hope we will see lot of activity as we cross a critical mass here. Sue

Thanks so much for the invitation, Susan! I'm an avid reader and writer. I've self-published two novels and will self-publish two more this year. Happy to provide comments/reviews when I can!

Hi everyone! thank you for inviting me to the group. I am still getting used the utilising Goodreads which appears to be a fabulous platform. As and when i can think of any useful suggestions i shall share them here,
Otherwise i have some free copies of my book if anyone would be kind enough to do a review.
Thanks again : )
