It's a group for those who are interested in looking at books and the business behind them, and for those on Shelfari who also work in publishing.

Authors Promos 85 books / 160 members / 117 posts Simply what it says - post your promos for you books so readers can read about your works!

The New Author Collective 61 books / 105 members / 239 posts

A place for new authors of all genres to showcase their books

Shelfari is a great tool for browsing other people's shelves and discovering "new" authors, i.e established authors whose work was unknown to us before, but what about the NEW authors. This shelf was created as a place for people to come and know that they are looking at the works of brand new authors.

If you are a new author, please feel free to join the group and add your book to the shelf. If you have a few books in print, please, only add one book to the shelf - be it your first, or the first in a series. If people are interested, they will come and find you. Think of it like a specialty book store with only a finite amount of shelf space. Please don't be a shelf hog.

Add your book to your own shelf, and then you can put details such as genre, synopsis, etc in the books opinions section. I would suggest you make it clear that the opinion is the authors own, even if it is just a synopsis.

Good luck all you new authors!

If you are a reader, browsing this shelf and a particular book interests you, please take a look at the Synopses discussion thread, where hopefully the author will have posted their synopsis for you.

English Majors/Minors 207 books / 239 members / 439 posts This group is for English majors or minors, but anyone is welcome. What I hope to attract with the group title are literature analysts, people who thoroughly enjoy studying novels, short stories, essays, whatever. Maybe I can even lure in some who actually like to peruse a bit of criticism now and then, though I must admit only the most intriguing topics can take me this far.

The Shelfari Reading Room 268 books / 194 members / 333 posts This group is for people of all ages who would like to exchange their reading experiences with others. Let's talk about our favorite books, what stories mean to us and why, and anything else that helps to describe our reading experiences.

I've added the link to a good online book club, Zooba, too... make a reading list and they'll send you the books

Authors on the Road 30 books / 16 members / 0 posts Many of us come into contact with each other through conventions and share books that we've written. I figure its much cheaper to swap out here in the world than at a convention so join on in and we can start sharing our work with each other. Helping each out with reviews and just have fun discussing the con's and events we go to.
