Goodreads Book Giveaway
Forever Layla

Giveaway ends June 10, 2014.
See the giveaway details at Goodreads.
Above is a sample of a giveaway that is still valid at the time of this post.
What is it?
A Goodreads giveaway allows you as the author or publisher to giveaway a copy or two...or 10 of your book to randomly selected Goodreads members who have entered to win your book.
What's the point?
#1 - It's free advertising - you're giving away a book! So spread the word all over your other social media sites and let people know. "Win my book" sounds so much better than saying "buy my book!" Additionally, people on Goodreads will find your book on the giveaway lists and enter to win it, too. These people may have never seen your book before, and might even buy it when they fail to win it.
#2 - Sometimes the winners leave reviews. And honestly, you can never have enough book reviews.
#3 - You never know who will see your book with all the exposure. I know of an indie author who told me specifically that the producer who bought movie rights to her book found her because she was high on the "most requested" list with her Goodreads giveaway.
