[close] Hi guys, Would you like to be part of a literary experiment? I wrote an experimental novel. It's a psychological legal suspense with some romance. I developed a narration technique that you have never seen before. I tried to look for a literary agent in the US, but the answer was the same from all those I had contacted: publishers make business rather than artistic or creative decisions. They see my narration technique as experimental, and therefore not a sure thing for sales. Agents and publishers are only interested in books that are easy to sell and won't spend time reading a book that dares to try something new. This means the audience won't have a chance to judge this original style for themselves unless I self-publish. I am tempted to do so because I would love to submit this novel to the readers and find out whether my technique works or not. But I also know that, once I start down the path of self-publishing, it makes it even more unlikely that I will find an agent willing to consider it. So, this is my plan. If this experiment is able to pique the interest of at least 2000 Goodreads users, I will offer a special launch on Amazon so you will be able to download the book for free. If you believe that writing is about more than just bottom lines, you can show your support for my initiative simply by joining this group and downloading the book when I set up the freebie. That's all the group members will be asked to do. I worked for 3 years of my life on this project and I'm happy to give it for free because, at this point, I would like to prove that basing decisions on marketing and sales isn't necessarily the best strategy. I would rather hear from readers whether they like it or not. But if this technique is not interesting, well, it will mean that agents and publishers are right. Thank you in advance to those who decide to join this group.

[close] In this group, giveaways will take place. Author or publishers can list their giveaways for any particular country or mention country names where they wish to send their books in a Giveaway post. Readers can also list giveaways after completing the book they bought or won in giveaways. The main purpose of our giveaways will be to get reviews. Yes, we shall giveaway books to only those readers (members of our group) who will definitely write a review on at least one renowned platform. It doesn't matter whether that review should be positive or negative, we should strive for an honest review. The need for this group has arisen after Goodreads changed it's giveaway policy. Their policy doesn't support indie authors and small publishing companies. This policy is also adversely affecting the members of Good reads, as they aren't getting books from giveaways. We must unite together and create this group for our benefits. Nobody will be exploited here.

[close] Amazon publishes lists every year of their top 100 books, and we're going to read through them.
