Making Connections discussion

Hi Everyone! My name is Ashray Jha and I have just published my first book So you want to be a Superinvestor? Being a first time author, I feel like writing the book was the easy part and marketing is the hard part. Every book that I have read on the subject of marketing and getting reviews says I need to be on goodreads but does not say how to effectively market your book and get reviews on goodreads I would love to start a discussion where people can share their best practices for using goodreads and getting reviews for your book.

Hi all! I write YA SF as Marti Ward, coauthored YA SF with Ward Powers, and review (Amazon, Clean Fiction, etc.) as David Powers.

I like my books (written and read) to be good reads (!-) but also uplifting and educational - learning about our world and who were are and exploring implications of our modern society. In my SF I want to encourage an interest in science/STEM as well as in reading in general (fiction and non-fiction).

I was reluctant to do audiobooks because I want to encourage reading (as opposed to hearing) but found that my Time for PsyQ was being read out by parents and teachers to their kids - and then Google Play offered for me to be a pioneer with their audiobooks which (unlike others beginning with A) allow for full cast (viz. dozens of separate character voices). e.g.

Time for PsyQ: Full Cast AI-Narration

(available anywhere that doesn’t begin with A)
