Reader communities are a specialized type of social networking site where readers and authors network, and readers recommend books to others. For authors of fiction and children's books, reader communities may be even more useful than the more general social networking sites like Facebook.

Many reader community sites allow authors to set up a profile page to promote themselves and their books. Some sites allow users to create a "friends" network and join groups composed of readers and authors of a particular genre, and some offer promotional opportunities to authors.
Look over the various reader communities to find those that are the best fit for your book and your audience. You may want to set up a profile on several sites and visit them occasionally, but it's probably best to focus your time on just two or three sites.
