Hi Prash, I would suggest posting either in the Author's Corner or the if the book is on sale right now in Books on Discount. Thanks!

Thank you Sheri!

This is the best community I have joined on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ! It has helped, both as an author and a blogger who features authors! :D

I'm new to the group. Your nicely organized list makes it so easy to get around. Thank you!

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have two books available, but only one (A Light in the Darkness) is on my author profile, yet the second book (Maps, Legends and Misdemeanours) is on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. Being a computer dunce, I cannot work out how to get it on. Apparently, it's supposed to appear automatically, but doesn't. I would most appreciate any help. Many thanks.

I've had my book appear under another author's name and I've had to contact Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ for help. They might take a few days to get back to you, but I've found the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ staff to be very helpful.

Many thanks, Katharine. I shall do that right away. Who is the best person to ask? I've tried finding a contact, but thus far have failed.

At the very bottom of this page, you can click on "author program" then choose "contact" from the right side of that page, and fill out the form. Best of luck.

I thank you once again, and wish you a wondrous day.

It looks like your author name is different on your books. The author name on Maps, Legends and Misdemeanours is MR Kevin E Hatt...This is something I can fix for you if you'd like. Is everything else on the book's page correct?

Hi, Sheri. It looks like there is no full stop on the E. Ordinarily it's Kevin E. Hatt, rather than E Hatt. Also, it should be Haszard#2. I also noticed that one of the titles has a full stop after Maps - whereas it should be a comma. I thank you very much for getting back to me, and wish you well.

Sheri, I still don't see my book listed to request reviews. Could you please let me know when this will happen? Thank you.
P.S. Title is A Beautiful Glittering Lie

I have the same query as J.D.

Sorry I hit comment by mistake. Stupid phone,
My book isn't showing either it's called the Lightson Dynasty

Hi J.D.R. and Rhiannon, Tana and I are working on them right now, so they will all be up tonight or tomorrow!

Awesome thank you very much

Hey everyone

Just have a query about where to post something. I'm starting up a quarterly newsletter for my author website and I'm wanting to advertise for people to be featured in my Bookshelf Zoom article. Here's a mockup I did of myself.
I'm hoping to get a new reader every quarter and I'm wondering where I should post this.

Thanks :)
Jo

Hi Jo, I thing the best place to post it would be in the Author's Corner, but the Blogs folder would work for that as well.

Great post, thank you!

can someone help me here am a new can't find and book in my book shelves

Hi Agyeman, welcome to the group! What book is it you're looking for?

Hello guys!
I've recently started blogging so some love would be appreciated!

please check it out!

Hello Everyone,

I'm writing from rainy soon to be snowy Cleveland OH. I've just started my venture into the Publishing world and am currently working with Cedar Grove Publishing as an acquisitions and marketing manager. Our main focus is on the multicultural children and YA market (which is underrepresented) So far I am enjoying the experience of this new venture, and as I searched GR for groups I came across this group, and I feel I will be learning a lot from all of you! We are currently in the midst of a Giveaway for a new book coming out next year SYCORAX's DAUGHTERS... Well I look forward to getting to know all of you. Good Luck!

Hey guys!

I'm new to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and this is my first group! I like to share my self-published book. It teaches teenagers the fundamentals of Negligence Law and how to follow them. This includes what happens when your adolescent publish a defaming tweet (libel) or flying a drone above your neighbor's house (trespassing). The book is composed of quirky illustrations that will make any teen and his or her parent laugh.

Please check it out at .

I would love suggestions on how to get this book more well known in the indie world!

Thank you so much.

Hello everyone

Sheri, I need your help with adding additions.

Sent you a message Kelanie

I've been on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and a member of this group since at least 2014, but under a business-related identity. Now I'm back as a new author. I went first to your "Giveaways > Holding a Giveaway" links. The oldest link there is from 2011, the newest from July of 2019. Again, this is a giveaways page. These antiquities suggest that the subgroup is cluttered with giveaways that cannot be meaningful to anyone, not even to the givers. Would there be reasonable value in deleting the clutter and starting anew? Perhaps a good sweeping would increase the value to readers and writers.
And yes, I do realize that I can quickly get to the newest entries.
Enjoy your day,
Steve

I am new and am finding that a lot of the links that are of interest to me are not working. Just letting you all know.
