This brief presentation will help you understand how groups work on Goodreads, including etiquette for joining a group, and instructions for creating your own.

1. Your Guide to Groups on Goodreads

2. The Best Place to Meet Readers
Goodreads features more than 20,000 book clubs
From groups focused solely on a single genre to groups that read
everything under the sun, you can find a group that interests you.
Join groups as a reader first
Contribute to discussions and get to know your fellow group members. Once
you've been an active participant for a while, then you might approach the
moderator if you'd like to create a separate thread to discuss your book.
Note the group rules
Some groups have specific rules for authors. Is there a
designated thread or folder for authors in the group? Be sure to
read the group rules before jumping into a discussion.

Some tips for a better
Featured Author Group
Keep it simple. We recommend
running your group for a single day.
Promote it! Promote your group to
your Facebook friends, Twitter followers,
and on your blog.
Add videos & polls. Not everyone will
want to jump right into a conversation.
Videos & polls let everyone participate.
