Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Many authors have blogs on Goodreads and other social networks. To get them noticed, post the link(s) to your blog here and help fellow bloggers by visiting a few and clicking the "like" button if you enjoy what you read (if you don't see a "like" icon, try thinking of your own ways to get the blog noticed).

Eg. This is the link to my Goodreads blog:

Great idea, Vincent.
This is my blog:

Persy's Blog


Thanx!..I'm going to visit yours now..

Thanks, Vincent!

Christian Fantasy Author

Thanks, Vincent. Great idea!

Regards,
John

Hi John: What a beautiful blog! Your book sounds fascinating, too.
How do you like working with Smashwords?

Cheers,
LE

Thanks for the wonderful feedback. I have had a good experience with Smashwords so far, of course, I haven't drawn a check yet, so we will see. :). They have done everything they promised, and ... you can't beat free ebook distribution.

Warm regards,
John

Sure thing! I found them all interesting.

J.--do you have a Goodreads blog? If so, share your link.

Here's mine: http://shaunjeffrey.blogspot.com/

I've been over at West of Mars for years now: http://westofmars.com/blog is the Meet and Greet. I also have my Win a Book publicity blog at http://winabook.westofmars.com and a third, smaller more traditional book review blog, mostly for overflow so the reviews don't overwhelm the fiction at the Meet and Greet.

You're quite welcome, John. Glad to hear about Smashwords...will look into it.

Cheers,
LE

Oh, LE, Smashwords has been great. I've gotten a couple of payments from them now and I have zero complaints -- and a huge number of raves. Do look into them.

Well...that's a GREAT endorsement, Susan. Thanx! Are they just for ebooks?

I work for the Podpeople Blog as a contributing editor, columnist, and book reviewer. The blog feeds into my Goodreads blog:

The PodPeople, Cheryl Anne Gardner

I've already enjoyed a number of your posts...will go back later today, Cheryl. I'm going to join your forum on self-publishing. Thanx for all the work.

Cheers,
LE

Thanks Lady. Emily actually runs the forum. I just manage the day to day blog stuff, and Chris is our other reviewer.

Love what I see! Check mine out at

Hope you enjoy!

What a great idea. I love bloggin almost as much as I love writing. Thankfully, they dovetail nicely. :-)

My Speculative Fiction writing blog is:
http://francespauli.blogspot.com

and I offer a free Space Opera at:
http://spaceslugserial.blogspot.com

Yes, Lady, Smashwords is e-book only. Almost every format under the sun, though.

Hey, Cheryl, do you ever need reviewers at POD People? I'd love to review rock and roll fiction for you guys!

After a 3-4 year hiatus, I returned to blogging in May. I used to consider it a chore. But a change in strategy and priorities is now making it fun.

Mental Geysers is the place I spout off on being a writer, an artist, give writing tips, with briefs of anything else that surges to mind.

I also have GR blog, accessible from my GR Author Page.

Thanks Susan, we are always looking for reviewers full time and guest reviewers. We don't get a lot of Rock and Roll Fiction, but you can offer up any review of any self-published book of your choosing. Just type it up in our format, include a cover pic, and email it to me at "cannegardner-podpeep at yahoo dot com" If you review regularly then I can probably get Emily to add you to our distribution list and get you posting access. Let me know.

I'll throw my hat into the ring. . .

I have a blog here on Goodreads that I update occasionally. Otherwise, Check out my official blogsite: www.TheWryterChronicles.com for updates, musings, sales, and other cool stuff! Thanks

My blog is "Bibliophilic Blather," on which I write about various publishing topics. The most recent is about my trip, or shall I say pilgrimage, to Jane Austen's home and grave.

Here's the link. It's also on my goodreads page.

Any writers who are interested in having their work seen by literary agents or editors, feel free to enter the monthly Strong Scene Contest on my BLOG www.strongscenes.com

There's never a fee to enter and the winner gets a $25.00 Amazon gift card. Give me your best scene, usually 200 words or less. Good luck,

Hi
My Blog is www.paulham33.blogspot.com

Have Fun!

My blog is here

It's also on Goodreads: here

Nanette, very interesting. Feel free to leave a scene for September. I've never specified whether the scene should be fiction or non-fiction. I always assumed it would be fiction, but a couple of months back Kate Mayfield won the contest with an excerpt from her memoir. So anything goes.
Good luck,

Gary

Well done, Vincent. My blog's devoted to 'Writing, politics, music and morphine'--but also to my own books, of course.

http://www.jplathrop.net

And now I have several dozen other author's blogs to check out! I wonder what I'm about to learn. . . .

Great idea, Vincent. I have a brand new blog just starting up where I will be featuring author interviews, announcing book releases, etc. It's my blog's Day One birthday, so come help me celebrate! :) And I might add that although I am a Romance author, I will not restrict the blog to Romance material only. Anyone who feels the site may be of help or interest to them is welcome. As a reader I love historical books and in the near future will be featuring a fascinating look at WWI by an up and coming British fiction author.

Hi all. Visit my blog - A Public Journal of a Regency Gentlewoman - where I journal about my everyday life as though I live in 1810.

Her Ladyship's Quest

I'm a fantasy author, but my blog does not focus only on fantasy writing. Topics covered include:

nonfiction book reviews
fiction book reviews
blog reviews
author interviews
movie reviews
Nature
archaeology
legends, myth & folklore

And of course I have updates about my writing and publishing.

PLEASE NOTE: Guest bloggers will be considered. Please contact me if you have a relevant idea to write about. I like to keep the focus on what would be of interest to readers moreso than writers.

My blog describes my fiction publishing activities, including the experience I had working with a small publisher, marketing, getting reviews, and all the little details. http://fantasyauthor.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone! I"m Dr. Maiysha Clairborne and I share my health and wellness tips several times a week including recipes, natural cures, and breaking news! I have had overwhelming positive responses from my facebook network as well as my patients, so I hope that you like it as well. Looking forward to reading your blogs too!

Thanks for the opportunity, Vincent and everyone! I am a children's writer in Australia, but my blog is about "life, the universe and everything, and all the absurdities they entail. It is the stuff that often inspires my writing." Here's the link...

Heather, I am following your blog. Hope you will soon be following mine: http://Jeanettethewriter.blogspot.com
Thanks. Jeanette

There's a free book going on my blog: http://lauracea.blogspot.com. Not many days left to enter to win it. All you have to do is suggest why I called my blog "lauracea".

I just realized my blog, https://homecomingbook.wordpress.com/ wasn't listed. I have a short piece (right now it's an entry from the glossary for my book, Homecoming) daily, and a longer piece (currently on aspects of building a planet people can live on--just had hurricanes and weather systems) each weekend. The blog links to my Goodreads profile. I'll probably add my Geophysical Christmas Carol pastiches in December.

I have 2 blogs that highlight my book, Angel in a Fur Coat. I hope to see some of you there :)

Now I'm off to read all these blogs above me...good thing it's raining today.

A blog is born...

http://nevemaslakovic.blogspot.com/

My first post just went up yesterday.

I'll be checking out everyone's blogs over the weekend!

(edited because I moved the blog over to Blogger.)

Congrats! I forgot to mention that I do have a blog here, it's linked to my site:-)

Bloggers, Please see my latest post on http://Jeanettethewriter.blogspot.com inviting Goodreads readers to consider following each other on their respective blogs. Thanks.

Thanks, Vince. I have been checking out many of these authors' blogs--and I hope they will do the same for mine. My two blogs are not directly related to my book "Sounds of Murder" but I do discuss it (and promote it) from time to time on both of them:
