Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Authors, here's a thread where you may ask writing- and publishing-related questions and answer the questions you have experience with. Let's help each other out as we're able.

Self-publishers on Amazon should be careful not to set the audience age recommendations unless it is for young readers. If you try to set the age range to, say, "16 and up", Amazon goofs it up and displays the range as 16-18. The best that can be done for adult books is just to set the minimum and maximum to "no selection". There is no way to get Amazon to correctly display a minimum without a maximum.

If a child sees a book in the marketplace that is too advanced, we must assume that a parent makes the call. I am not referring to sex or violence. I am referring to books that require an adult education or intellect.

If the author WANTS an age range, say, 12-16 or whatever, that's fine. Set the min and max.

My pet peeve on Goodreads is private messages asking me to provide my author info. A Goodreads author profile is easy to set up. My info is there. Just click the link.

Authors, use the tools provided by Goodreads. Curate your own GR author profile.
