Aspiring Writers Info: Reviews -- Requesting Them & Recognizing Review Scams

[alfreda89]

This suggestion is for established authors as well as aspiring newbies. Writer Rachel Abbott has done a lovely job creating a promo piece for her novel, as well as explaining what she thought was important to potential reviewers, and how to go about creating your own promo sheet. The point is, you're looking for the right reviews, the ones that will sell books. She also talks about recognizing sham reviews, and the discouraging knowledge that there are places where you can buy reviews -- good ones for yourselves, and bad ones for enemies.

Thanks to writer Terry Odell for pointing out Rachel's post!
