I’ve had an author page at Manic Readers for some time. They’re free and easy for any author to set up. I certainly found the entire process very painless when I set up my page. Recently Manic Readers contacted me because they’re now offering a Plus Membership where authors can pay a small monthly fee and receive extra benefits.
In the interests of full disclosure, they offered me a free trial membership in exchange for telling other authors about the new services they provide. I accepted and I’ve tried out the new additions. Once again it was very easy, and now I wait with interest to see what readers and other authors think of the new services.
About the Plus Membership
1. The Plus Membership allows authors to host live chats with their readers right from their Author Page.
2. The Plus Membership allows authors to post news and contests directly to the Manic Readers website.
3. The Plus Membership is only $3.99/month which is an inexpensive way to attract and interact with readers.
4. The Plus Membership integrates with Twitter so your MR book and page updates post to your Twitter page.
The Site:
1. Authors can create free Author Pages quickly and easily without any HTML code.
2. Readers can enjoy thousands of books, authors, and publishers.
3. Easy navigation and great search capabilities.

This sounds great, Shelley. As a new author, I’m trying to find ways to get maximum exposure for minimum investment, and this looks like something that could help. :)

Kaye – it’s a great term, isn’t it? It sticks to the top of the blog until I unstick it.
Cari – It’s definitely very easy to load a page and less than the price of a cup of coffee.
