One of the main reason we ask for reviews is so that we can get fifty plus on Amazon which really makes our book more visible there. Once we have fifty or more reviews, Amazon becomes much more proactive in promoting the book. Even if they’re not all five star.
However, you have to have either bought the book from Amazon or have spent enough with them otherwise to be able to post there.
We generally ask that reviewers post to Amazon, Good Reads and Storygraph. You can use the same one for all three. Anyone can post on Good Reads or Storygraph.
Reviews don’t have to be long, but reviewers should try to say why they thought the book was excellent if they gave five stars and where it fails at all if they give fewer.
It’s great if reviewers can send the review to the author who can use it on their own social media and web sites in turn might forward it to us. We keep three reviews on our online bookshop. If you think the latest one is better than the one you have there, just give us a shout.
We’ll often anyway flag up a review to our Facebook page followers.
Reviewers might also put up their reviews on their own web site or social media.
