Is Goodreads destroying writers’ careers?

This week we’re rolling out our newest segment where we discuss the current events in the writing world or topics that we find interesting. Our first topic has been plaguing the writing community for years — Goodreads’ reviews. Join us in recounting the recent New York Times article, the Facebook post that started the conversation, and Kait’s two examples.  Note: After recording the podcast, we believe the character in Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses is of Indian descent.
