2023. Goodreads introduces new Giveaway marketing tool for authors
Goodreads has launched the U.S. Giveaways program to give aspiring authors on Kindle Direct Publishing a new marketing tool to attract their first readers and get reviews. However, you'll have to pay for a spot in the Giveaways section: $119 for the Standard package (which includes 100 giveaways) and $599 for the Premium package, which also adds a prominent "Featured" label to your book on the Giveaways page. Readers can giveaway books they're interested in and these books are added to their "Want to Read" section according to the terms and conditions. The lucky winner will receive your book for free.
