***PLEASE START A NEW TOPIC FOR EACH BOOK RECOMMENDATION YOU MAKE � DO NOT POST THEM HERE OR THEY MAY BE DELETED***
Familiarize yourself with this FAQ before posting recommendations please
May I recommend any book/author?
Yes, so long as they're self-published, indie, small-press or otherwise obscure. No Stephen King or The Hunger Game recommendations since there are countless sites already discussing mainstream bestsellers such as them.
Do I start my own topic when recommending a book?
Yes. For each book you recommend be sure you start a new/separate topic that includes the TITLE and AUTHOR’S NAME. Do not post gimmicky titles or hooks in the topic to “entice� people � you’re not marketing, you’re recommending a book for readers to consider not pitching it to potential customers.
May I recommend a book under multiple boards?
No. Please do not spam a single book across multiple boards. While many books do fall under several genres please pick the most logical/main one it would appear under and recommend it there. Using the examples above: Stephen King’s books would predominantly be recommended under “Horror� while The Hunger Games would be more “Dystopian�.
May I recommend a book I wrote?
Regrettably no.
We're interested in sincere, from-the-heart recommendations from genuine fans. Please only recommend books by other authors and refrain from self-promotion overall.
While we do appreciate many of our members are authors themselves, this fact alone means we shouldn't be so impressed with our own contributions to writing that we forget ourselves as readers. Recommend books you - as a reader, not author - are a fan of and believe more people should read.
Self-promotion outside moderator-approved boards or topics is expressly prohibited. Be aware any gratuitous examples or copy/paste advertizement will be deleted without warning.
Are there any guidelines for recommending a book?
Not really. Speak from the heart, explain why people might enjoy it, refrain from spoiling and always be sure to include links so people can find it.
