FOR READERS Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer Charli Coty: What makes you want to talk about a book you read, to spread that “word of mouth” action that can really put a book (and sometimes the author too) on the map?

FOR READERS Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer Nathan Smith: How (if at all) does the output of an author play into your readership?
