In 2014, the plaintiffs in the Vergara trial claimed that
several California education statutes — all of which are on the
books at the behest of the teachers unions — cause
greater harm to minority and economically disadvantaged populations because their schools «have a disproportionate
share of grossly ineffective teachers.»
Indie authors are an important part of the Goodreads community and there are
several ways authors can engage with readers on Goodreads for free, including
sharing what you are reading yourself (Maggie Stiefvater, Rick Riordan, and Roxane Gay are three
great examples of authors who do this), using our «Ask the Author» feature, and providing additional content about your
books with our Kindle Notes & Highlights on Goodreads feature (see how Emma Chase
shared notes on her
book, Royally Screwed, which led to some
great interactions with her fans — authors should contact our author team if they are interested in doing something like this too).
