• Otis Chandler Speaks About GR

  If the bullies try to argue that Goodreads is a site for readers only, please reference and the quote from it below.

  “We’re in the media business today. We’re in the business of helping authors and publishers market their books to readers. And that’s where we make our money. We sell book launch packages to authors and publishers and really help accelerate, build that early buzz that a book needs to succeed when it launches and accelerate that growth through ads on the site.”
  - Otis Chandler, founder of Goodreads
