And you’d be right, Paula. But think of it like this: You’re seated in a restaurant booth having lunch with a friend, when the person in the booth behind you turns around, leans over the divider, and comments on your conversation. It might make you a little uncomfortable to know that the person was listening and was so interested that she felt compelled to comment, right? That’s how many Goodreads readers feel when authors comment on their reviews.

Authors can review books on both Amazon & Goodreads — authors are readers, too. Amazon removes reviews for a number of reasons that can include when an author writes a bad review of a “competitor’s” book.

Generally speaking, though, there is no ban on either site on authors reviewing other books.

Yes, Amazon owns Goodreads.

I understand that on Amazon they often remove author reviews. And doesn’t Amazon own Goodreads?

Thanks so much, Linda! I’m thrilled that you recognize the value. Did you notice that Writer’s Digest had a 90-min. Goodreads session last week for $79? It’s a reference point to keep in mind, that’s for sure.

Thanks again!
