Nice! Hopefully, they’re all great books. The authors will be incredibly happy if you read them and review them on Goodreads!

Thank you for the informative video; your explanation was clear and helpful. However, I'm a bit puzzled about the suggestion to avoid hosting a giveaway without first testing the book with an audience. My primary goal in planning a book giveaway is to gather reviews and feedback to gauge the quality of my book, whether positive or negative. Currently, my audience is limited to just my friends. If I can get at least 100 people to read it, I would be in a much better position to assess my book. Do you have any other videos or resources that provide guidance on how to effectively reach and engage an audience to assess if a book has potential or needs improvement?

I love this question. And I really like your idea. If you're going to test your book with an audience who you don't know, then I highly recommend changing the book and creating a new edition once you gather the feedback you need. Why? Because when these strangers review your book, those reviews will be attached to that version of the book. The problem with that is that a lot of people will sign up for book giveaways even if they don't like the genre or type of book they receive. So, your book could get bad reviews. But that's not a problem if you're going to release an updated edition later after you gather feedback. As to how to find readers, that's just a process of reaching out to people who you know like the type of book you're writing and then asking them to read it and provide feedback. You can find people online or through your current connections. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Great question. I don’t think so… but I would need to verify that…
