Follow these insturctions:<br /><br />How Do I Join?<br /><br />1. Sign into your Goodreads account.<br /><br />2. Search for yourself and click on your published author name. The author name is listed below the title of your book in the search results. If you do not find your book in our database of published works, please see section below (who can join).<br /><br />3.Clicking on your name takes you to your basic author profile page. This page has your name at the top and "author profile" to the right of your name. This page is part of our database of books and authors and is separate from your member profile page (which lists your bookshelves and friends).<br /><br />4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click "Is this you?" to send a request to join the Author Program. Please give us a few days to process your request. You will receive email confirmation when we successfully upgrade your user account to an author account. Joining the program merges your author page with your member page. The email will also contain further instructions for managing your author profile.Robin Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613910688999698522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-53519111801897450252011-10-12T19:02:25.907-04:002011-10-12T19:02:25.907-04:00Robin--Here's the link to my Amazon Author Pag...Robin--Here's the link to my Amazon Author Page. <br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Mike-Dennis/e/B004JXZYPU/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1<br /><br />I thought I was signed in as an author on Goodreads, but it's so confusing, I can't really make head or tail of it.Mike Dennishttp://mikedennisnoir.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-45920355172296521242011-10-12T05:25:38.803-04:002011-10-12T05:25:38.803-04:00Robin--

Some feel they can't respond "truthfully" when they know the author is watching. As with anything it's "how" you do it. Never fight or disagree with what someone writes. I personally think that readers really like hearing from authors - and get a lot of feedback that seems to bear that out (although those that are upset probably don't say anything). I'll actually talk about this subject more in the post about working with goodreads more.Robin Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613910688999698522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-63761172250899294562011-10-10T12:31:21.038-04:002011-10-10T12:31:21.038-04:00Mike:

In any case, I can't find the "author dashboard" that you said was in the upper right hand corner of the home page. I don't see any "Welcome back, Mike." I only see "recent updates" with reviews of other people's books by the usual suspects. <br /><br />What am I doing wrong?Mike Dennishttp://mikedennisnoir.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-15494727811339238782011-10-09T15:07:06.658-04:002011-10-09T15:07:06.658-04:00thanks for this.

How much of that translates into sales is an open guess, and I think varies from book to book, with how badly people actually want to read it. <br /><br />Looking forward to your ideas about interacting - I've been hesitant to do that (mostly because of time, but also being a Goodreads author), but I'm thinking of starting a discussion for my next book.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-60275461295722461672011-10-08T17:04:23.532-04:002011-10-08T17:04:23.532-04:00Thanks, Robin.

The topic of Goodreads comes up a good bit on the crime fiction author discussion lists because a) it's a powerful social medium, b) most of us aren't using its tools to nearly the maximum capacity, and c) the user interface stinks for intuitiveness. In fact, I wind up cheating, using a Facebook group that was created by people in the main Goodreads group that I frequent. I think they have problems with Goodreads, too.<br /><br />I've interacted on Goodreads for the better part of a year, and I'm not getting many reviews or fans. I wish you'd talk a LOT more about Goodreads.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.suzanneadair.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">Suzanne Adair</a>Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624472793275282926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-35713750181714559502011-10-08T11:55:50.408-04:002011-10-08T11:55:50.408-04:00Maybe you will want to put a facebook icon to your...Maybe you will want to put a facebook icon to your site.

Being newly indie published, I joined Goodreads, but I'm unsure, too, how to use it to reach readers other than to share my reviews of books I've read.

Is it okay to thank people who leave reviews? Can I follow them? A marketing person at one of my publishers told me that Goodreads folks are wary of authors friending them, so I've stayed away from doing that. I know I can host a forum but I haven't done it because I'm not sure how to drive people there if I can't connect with them the way a reader would connect with another reader.Joseph D'Agnesehttp://www.josephdagnese.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-80274142587632232642011-10-07T21:18:13.000-04:002011-10-07T21:18:13.000-04:00Thanks for this.
