BOOK SYNOPSIS

Authors in today's environment are finding that they have to be their own marketing and public relations department. Many could use some guidance with these skills. This book grew out of a workshop I have done for local writer's groups.
Inside you will find: * Tips on approaching blogs and reviewers * What not to do * Should you read your reviews? * Keeping out of Amazon 'jail' * Approaches to getting reviews- some common, some off the beaten path * Current Amazon review policies and what may be coming down the road
Having a game plan to garner reviews will certainly get better results than doing nothing. This book will help you find some avenues you may not have thought of, or didn't know about.

EXCERPT

Unfortunately, there are also some things new authors want to avoid. They may not know any better. I have purposely included discussions on some practices that are not approved by some vendor’s terms of service or prudent. Why? I want to explain the reasons why these practices are not a good idea. There will always be someone somewhere trying to cut corners. For instance, Facebook posts pop up every other day offering review swaps. A new author who is dying to get their first review may say to themselves “Oh, what a break,” not realizing how it could all go horribly wrong. By including discussions on these practices, I hope to save a writer a little heartache. There are those that may still proceed down that path anyway. That will be their choice, at least it was an informed choice.

She is a member of the Knoxville Writers’ Guild and ETCWA (East Tennessee Creative Writers’ Alliance). When ETCWA asked her to do an educational presentation about how authors can get reviews she realized many would benefit from the information she had to share. A book was born!
