Hoping to attract readers who enjoy women’s fiction, I’ve set up a new Goodreads group. Authors writing women’s fiction (not erotica or mysteries please) can add their books. Here’s a link below to the group, which now has 32 members:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/179161-women-s-fiction-for-authors-and-readers
In case you’re not sure whether your book fits this category, I’ve copied and pasted the Google definition below:
Women’s fiction is an umbrella term for women centered books that focus on women’s life experience that are marketed to female readers, and includes many mainstream novels.
I have also added more definitions of women’s fiction below:
Not heavily centred on erotica or romance.
Focused mainly on family relationships.
Deeper characterisation.
Focused on women’s empowerment and women’s issues.
Generational sagas.
—————————————————————————————————-
Does your book fit this genre? If you add your book (s), there is space to write a little promotional feature about why they have been added. I look forward to discovering many more women’s fiction authors and some awesomely good reads on Goodreads!
P.S……As a way of adding to members’ reviews, I’m wondering if any of the group would agree to buy and review one or two books in the group’s list per year? All comments welcome.

Your novel looks interesting. I’ve just bought it and added it to my (long) TBR list!

How about mysteries with a strong woman sleuth (married, has a child, and a career as an ER nurse)?

Hi Noelle, thanks for replying, but I think it sounds like a detective story? Women’s fiction would probably more focus on her marriage and how she juggles her career with looking after a child.
