Do readers frequent the forums?

Or is it just authors?

I would guess that there are more readers on here than authors.

of course a lot more READERS than Authors, but we do have a lot of Authors on MR, the wide mix of people and experience is what makes this site so good!

This site was designed for people that read ebooks who wanted unbiased (from the companies) information on the different ebook readers available.

The many readers (people) it attracted in turn attracted authors looking to promote their work.

Word spreads.........and here we are.

Reader here, but I've often considered writing a book "My Life in a Barn". I'm not sure if it would be a comedy or a tragedy.

Do I sense a poll coming DG?

I'm a readerwriter. I read books (mostly fiction) and write magazine articles for travel magazines. I'd love to be a novelist, but I don't have the sticking power...

Yes. Otherwise, you would have to write with your eyes closed.

Writers tend to also read you might be confusing them with critics/reviewers who it often seems don't know how to read.
