You join this year to post ads about your book. Not allowed, Sunshine.
People who post about their books are long standing FReepers who also contribute to this website, and the books are tangential to a free republic. Writers usually also invite FReepers to review or help write the books. Matt Bracken, FReeper Travis McGee, did it back in 2001. Lots of Freepers thanked in his forward too. LS also did this. He also gave away copies of his book.
Lots of writers here, but not writers who only use FR for their own advertising.
I have been working EXTENSIVELY with Laz on his book and my book. I have been a great help to him. Ask him.
The book is about the US Constitution. Tangential enough?
I do not use FR only for advertising. I love the content here.
“and the books are tangential to a free republic.”
It was... It was a historical work about the Constitution... And it looked pretty good... I read the excerpt before it was taken down...
