Mary Mackey Helps Goodreads Launch Ask The Author Program

Goodreads.com has just launched Ask The Author, a program which allows readers to ask direct questions and get direct, personal answers from their favorite authors. Mary Mackey has accepted Goodreads’ invitation to participate in Ask The Author and is now answering questions about her novels and poetry as well as general questions about the craft of writing, the joy of  reading books you can hold in your hands, the digital revolution in publishing, how to get an agent, and other topics her readers are interested in discussing with her. She is also inviting readers to ask her questions about her new Blog Interview Series People Who Make Books Happen. Ask her a question by going to her Goodreads Author Profile Page and scrolling down to Ask The Author.

Other authors who are helping  Goodreads launch Ask The Author include: Isabel Allende, Margaret Atwood, Dan Brown, Michael Cunningham, James McBride, Ayelet Waldman, Anne Lamott, Frances Mayes, Michael Pollan, Jeff Kinney, Hugh Howey, Richelle Mead, and Kevin J. Anderson.

To ask Mary question, visit her author’s profile page by clicking here (or use the search box at the top of the Goodreads site to search for “Mary Mackey.”) Scroll down her Goodreads author profile, and you will see a space called Ask the Author. You can also select “More answers from…” to view all of the questions Mary has answered in the past. When Mary answers your question, the question and answer will appear on her profile as well as in the newsfeeds of Mary’s followers, and you will be notified on your Goodreads homepage and by email.
