4 ways to build healthy relationships with your readers
Writer's Digest

Having a positive relationship with your readers pays off. Readers are more likely to buy your book if they feel a personal connection to you.

The Atlantic
Amazon is the king of online booksellers and, by most accounts, the most feared player in publishing. Yet last week it shelled out a reported $150 million to buy up Goodreads, a social network for book nerds with a devoted but far from enormous 16 million members.
