I've been doing the odd review on my blog but am getting so many requests now it's impossible to read them all, so I have started a group today on goodreads for authors to try and get interested reviewers for their books.

I have quite a few genre folders already, if there is anything obvious I've missed, please let me know

And if you'd like to join and hopefully get some reviewers for your books, please feel free to join:

Take care,
Annette

Thank you, Annette! Might I suggest a women's fiction/chick-lit folder?

I would love to see historical fiction, drama, and family saga.

Thanks, Annette. I see you have a NF folder already.

Just checked the rules and they look reasonable.

Historical was already there, it must have been on the next page of discussions

I've added a family saga/drama folder now too.

I have an author profile on Goodreads now and joined the group but don't have a clue as to how this works

I see a couple of posts already made asking for a review with the blurb etc. which I can use as reference

but how do they contact me and do I then email them a file in mobi, epub etc?

The author posts details about their books, blurb genre etc. and then any interested reviewers will either leave you a message on your thread about that book or they might send you a private message via goodreads. It's very new, so I don't know if anyone has received any review requests yet, but hopefully soon

Once you have an interested reviewer, it's up to the author to send them a mobi, epub whatever they request etc.

take care

Well I know at least one author who's had a bite, as I've offered to review it

Hopefully there will be a few more bites in weeks to come.

Take care,
Annette

Great idea. I checked it out and may add mine for a review.

Like many indies, I have the feeling that there are many of us and few of reviewers and (dang it) readers.

I will watch your discussion with interest.
