Leading Readers to Book Waters

How can writers and readers connect so you can find genre buffets you are looking for?

Sure you can have networking, shout outs, some book bombs but sometimes there are other barriers.

• Lots of books in the sea. Pretty much how to get noticed when there's so much out there. Wonder if there is search terms you can use or maybe key words in a review that will help things rise to the top.
• From what I've gathered, genre covers are important, the summary blurb on your series, building a reading base
• Getting past censorship, either online or offline, will you self publish or go through more traditional avenues and after that, how much will they support you.
• On the reader end: figuring out preferred gateways, mailing lists, blogs, social media, libraries, how do you find what you look for?

When it comes to social media, it can help but sometimes it feels like that's an uphill battle too. More eyes focus on drama or what they hate rather then uplifting things they enjoy. I try my best to focus on finding books in the rough and bring them to the surface.

When engagement of the medium is the prime currency, guess its like a horse race to get out from underfoot.

Guess finding books is like finding a house. What's the foundation? Then the trappings. The preferred tropes. Then you go about putting it on the market. Even if a review isn't that in depth I suppose its good to even leave, "This book was fun. Got any more in the works?" That way a reader has given a response. Even that bit will lift any writer's spirits.
