We have a section that another moderator runs called Read 2 Review, where we have readers sign up and work with a writer so that the author can get more personal reviews and criticism.<br /><br />We're developing an FAQ for the Rules of this section and one question that we have been asked repeatedly is, "Can the author gift a book to a reader via Smashwords? And if they can, will the author be charged for doing so?"<br /><br />Could you please provide me with some information?<br /><br />Thank you!<br />Emily/MuseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813026833247147604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-31155553161174182162012-02-14T06:17:29.182-08:002012-02-14T06:17:29.182-08:00Wonderful!
