Finding authors and readers who will share your enthusiasm is a great thing. Collaborating, exchanging ideas and tips is even better.
How the collaboration should look alike:
Improving your writing skills. Reading some books can help you to get inspiration.
Getting important informations. You never know in which way you can promote your books.
Getting some subscribers and followers. Social media can't exist without followers.
Everyone should avoid abuse of collaboration, so these are alerts:
Authors are not your customers. If author is not interested at your books, accept this.
Don't deceive authors that you read their book, if you did not. A Kindle report shows number of pages in Kindle unlimited.
Don't deceive authors that you purchase their books if you did not. A Kindle report shows purchases.
Recommendations to find cover creators and editors are also useful. A future publisher is someone who will come by recommendation.
Remember to:
Respect other's time, they invested it in reading your book.
Accept criticism. Your book is not maybe so good, it needs work.
Accept delays. You might wait for reviews for months.
Read " about me" in social media. Before you send someone a message, check the information, does this person review and read books.
Let your messages be short and clear. Nobody have a time for long explanations.
