Serious Wednesday: How do I Review a Book for an Author?

Reviews are like handing an author a hunk of gold!

                                             Reviews make an author smile or cry.

Reviews are good for the book.

One review is really nice. Fifty reviews are perfection.

The question: How can readers review and share about an author's book?

Here are a few ideas:

• When an author has a new book out, buy (if you can) the book and write a review as soon as
  you can! If you win a copy or are given one, write a review. Share about it on your social media links, tell others about it. When you see the author post something relative to the book, share it with others. Anything to help the author promote their new product is helpful. If you win or given a copy, always make sure you include words that "you were under no obligation to give a good review" or "This is my honest review. I was under no obligation to review." 

Remember:   Being an author is like running a business. Reviews help their credibility, integrity, and encourage other readers to buy the book. 

Your author will thank you!
