Online Events and Giveaways

We did something fun on Twitter the other day!

For 30 minutes, Rob and I used people's responses as inputs to our recommendation algorithm and tweeted back suggestions:

It went really well and the winner of the draw was delighted too, especially as she loved the sound of the book we ended up suggesting!

Not too long ago we ran a Plus giveaway on Instagram, thanks to a donation from one of our Early Bird customers, and that was a big hit.

We want to do more things like this across Twitter, Instagram, and eventually in-app too!

Got any ideas for the kind of things you'd like to see? 🤔

Since last time...

You can now view edition information directly on a book’s page! 🙌🏾

It's collapsed by default!

And there are more options when you're filtering your lists via your tags:

Spot the new "Include all" and "Exclude" options? 

😁

Outside of the app, we're now set up as affiliates with Libro.fm and Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus, the latter especially great for our German and other European users. Look out for new "Buy" links on the book pages soon!

If you live in the US or Canada, you can use code STORYGRAPH when signing up for a new Libro.fm membership to get a free audiobook for your first month. 🙌🏾

Next two weeks

I'll have met Abbie in person for the first time ever since she started working with me in September 2019! After I've sent this email, I'll be off to get a train to the north of England! 🥳

We're also working on something that we hope will help significantly improve the user experience around missing book data — stay tuned! 👀

What I'm reading

I'm loving Ship of Magic so much! Can't believe I left it so long before diving back into Hobb's universe!

Have a great week,

Nadia
