Enter My Goodreads Giveaway

Until the final day of October, I will be running a Goodreads Giveaway for two of my most recent books. If you are on Goodreads, I encourage you to go over and enter this contest with just a few clicks.  You could be one of the winners—but only if you enter the contest. 

After you enter the Giveaway, I encourage you to use the social media buttons at the bottom of this post to tell others about it.

If you are an author, are you using these Giveaways? The author or the publisher can set them up and they are simple and inexpensive exposure for your books. It doesn't have to be a new book because I've tried it successfully with older books as well.

The details are below about my Giveaway:

You Must Enter To Win

I'm a big fan of Goodreads. According to their website, there are 40 million active members on this site. If you don't know much about Goodreads, I encourage you to take this teleseminar and learn about it. As an author, you need to be there. Also you need to be reviewing books as a reader of books on Goodreads. 

During the last few months, I've initiated two other Goodreads Giveaways.  Today my new Goodreads giveaways were approved. They will run for about two and a half weeks or through the end of July. I hope you will enter and tell your friends to enter. Goodreads are a great way to spread the news about your books.

This time I did three books--two that are new and one that has been around several years.

First here's the giveaway for Billy Graham, A Biography of America's Greatest Evangelist. This book has currently 39 reviews on Amazon and I've received terrific positive feedback from readers about this book. The Goodreads giveaway:

The majority of giveaways on Goodreads are new books but they do not have to be. The third book for a giveaway is Book Proposals That Sell, which has over 130 Five Star Amazon reviews and some people consider a classic in the publishing community. I've had authors write and say they used this book to get a $25,000 advance.

I hope you will spread the news about the limited time of this giveaway. Like any contest, you must enter to have a chance to win. Goodreads picks the winners and sends me a list of the winners, then I mail them the books and certify to Goodreads that I've sent the books. If you don't send the books or Goodreads receives complaints, then you can be ban from future Goodreads Giveaways. 

If you are a published author (traditional or self-published), I hope you will look into using Goodreads Giveaways for your books.

Get The World Is Flat For Free

I must be one of the few people who have not read The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman since millions have purchased this book. When Publishers Weekly ranked the bestselling books from 1996 to 2006 in the fiction and nonfiction category, Friedman's book was the ninth book on the nonfiction list.

Beginning tomorrow, and running through August 4th, Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Macmillan Audio will be offering the audio edition of Thomas Friedman's The World Is Flat for free. Listeners will receive the audiobook in three easy-to-download sections, and soon after that, as an added bonus, will also receive an exclusive prepublication audio excerpt of Friedman's Hot, Flat, And Crowded: Why We Need A Green Revolution And How It Can Renew America. Farrar, Straus and Giroux will release the new book on September 8th. I received this notice from Change This.com who reported: Senior Vice President of marketing and publicity at FSG Jeff Seroy said the purpose of this audio giveaway is to "celebrate Friedman's enormous influence on our lives and times. And in preparation for the release of his new book, a green manifesto and a continuation in many ways of his thinking in The World Is Flat , we want to enable anyone who hasn't already read The World Is Flat to catch up with Friedman's argument and vision for the future." Here's where you'll sign up, if you'd like to receive these free audio downloads.
