A call is circulating urging Goodreads users to add self-published and independent authors' books to their "Want to Read" shelves. According to the appeal, this small action boosts a book's visibility, draws attention from a wider readership, and helps indie authors who lack marketing budgets get discovered. The message is spreading among online book communities, where readers are encouraged to use their accounts to amplify lesser-known writers at no cost.
Why now: Readers in online book communities are actively looking for free, low-effort ways to support independent authors.
