Though it isn't published yet, I made a Goodreads page for my novel and asked my beta readers to post reviews of my novel on it.
The reviews are all positive and rated 4 or 5.
I have a dozen reviews so far and I'm sure I'll get more when I ask my next batch to review. Whenever I post on Goodreads asking for reviews, I always get many people volunteering.
When I start querying agents, I would like to send them the URL of my novel's Goodreads page so they can see for themselves how readers reacted to my novel.
Is this a bad idea? I know common wisdom says you don’t tell an agent "my friends loved my book" but in this case I asked on Goodreads and total strangers wanted to read my novel and posted reviews. Does that count for anything? I'd like to show agents that I have readers who will be willing to post reviews on Amazon and talk the book up.
Thanks for any advice.
Can I show agents my Goodreads reviews in my query letter?
