Answer questions about your books, solicit reader reviews to use on feature Web sites, or invite inquiries about author availability for appearances, interviews, or store visits. Send reader mail to authors who have e-mail without revealing the author's e-mail address, with an optional cc: to the publisher e-mail box as well.
Customer information form

Discussion forum
Give your site visitors a venue in which to share their questions, opinions, and comments. Visitor-contributed material can add interest to a site and keep people coming back again and again as they get involved in the interaction. Can also be used as a tool for contest entries, questions for an author, etc.

Fully customizable interface can be adapted for the needs of your site and content creators.
Poll tool

Random content display tool

Community peer-review/annotation environment
A complex Web tool for allowing an online community to share text material and rate, review, comment upon, or add to it. Material can be viewed by various ratings and criteria. Flexible tool structure can be adapted for many uses, such as for a peer-reviewed online writing workshop (see, for example, www.randomhouse.com/delrey/workshop/), a recipe swap area, or a formal collection and analysis system for customer feedback.
