Before the Bestseller


In this episode, my friend, Steve Sarner, a former vice president and one of Goodreads’ original users who supervised sales and marketing in addition to other duties, shares special insights into the integration of two popular platforms for readers and authors, Goodreads and Amazon. His journey to publishing demonstrates the art of navigating the ever-evolving landscape of modern publishing.

With Amazon’s acquisition of Goodreads, the two platforms are poised to work creatively together in the future. This strategic relationship has the potential to reshape the literary scene, providing authors with unprecedented opportunities for visibility and readers with new paths for discovery.
