GETTING BOOK REVIEWS:

EASY, ETHICAL STRATEGIES FOR AUTHORS

(WRITING CRAFT #14)

by Rayne Hall

.

Is this title ONLY for authors?

.

Primarily, yes, but I can think of ten legitimate reasons why this book isn’t just for Authors:

READERS WILL…

1.  … understand how to work with their favorite authors–and obtain FREE Review Copies for their reading pleasure, BEFORE the books are available for sale!
2.  … gain a clear understanding of the value of every single review they post on Amazon, Goodreads, and beyond.
3.  … discover an easy-peasy template for review writing.
4.  … understand, clearly, what constitutes an ethical review–and might feel more comfortable!
5.  … learn their key role in the success of an individual book…
6.  –and the success of that book’s author.
7.  … might discover at least one new book review site (I did!) to inform their own purchases…
8. — and provide one more place they can leave reviews. (When you’ve fallen in love with a book, don’t you want to tell the world?)
9.  … understand the disaster of “Fake Reviews”. They’ll know how to spot them to inform their own buying choices, as well as avoid accidentally looking like a “FAKE”, even though they read the book.
10.  … better understand their favorite authors’ promotions, especially Review Copies (a.k.a. Advance Review Copies [ARC])

REVIEW:

.

5 stars!

Rayne covered every real method I’ve read about from various industry leaders, and some I hadn’t. This title is thorough without covering the subject to excess. This is a title I’ll reread and refer back to.

Each chapter includes informative content, followed by sections: What Not To do, Advantages of This Method, Disadvantages, Mistakes I Made and Learnt From, and sometimes sections like The Wrong Way–Typical Scenario, What To Say, What NOT To Do, and Is This Permitted And Ethical?

TEN LEGITIMATE REASONS WHY THIS BOOK EMPOWERS AUTHORS:

.

1.  Rayne’s examples cover virtually every known avenue…
2.  … and does so with concise, clear language. Easy, instructive, and informative reading.
   
3.  Consequences (good and bad) will help you make the best decisions for your business.
4.  Avoid fields booby-trapped with numerous scams!
5.  Book reviews are only as good as their quality. As not all review sources are created equal, learn to discern the BEST!
   
6.  Help to aim for the highest ROI (return on investment).
7.  Chapter 20 contains methodology from numerous successful authors, giving details!
   
8.  Honest, bald truth about what works, and what is ineffective will inform YOUR choices.
9.  How-To’s, Warnings, and Disclosures will save you significant money… you need not learn the hard way.
10.  Save time learning what doesn’t work; Rayne’s disclosures outline what methods prove time-consuming for low ROI.
11.  –BONUS TIP– In the space of a 1 or 2 hour read, understand where to begin, what avenues appeal to YOUR personality, and know how to implement the idea with greatest success, lowest cost, while avoiding pitfalls.
