What does an author need as much as whiskey, solitude, and a spouse with a steady income?
In today’s market, books live and die based on the eyeballs that chance across them online, and the more reviews a book has — good, bad, or indifferent — the more eyeballs will bounce that way. Eyeballs translate to sales, and sales translate to more whiskey, which translates to more books. It’s a win-win situation for reader and author alike.
If you’ve read and liked a book, do the author a favour and leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. Even if you don’t have time for a written review, a simple star rating is a huge help. You’re also doing fellow readers a favour by letting them know where to find their next great read.
So here’s the favour I’m asking. If you’re one of the many people who have been reading Allaigna’s Song as its been serialized in Pulp Literature I would be extraordinarily grateful if you could leave a review on Goodreads. It can be a 1-star, 5-star, or anything in between. (Be honest! You won’t hurt my feelings. Honestly!)
The book launches July 10th, and having early reviews will really help it get up and running fast.
And while you’re there, take a minute or two to review some books by other authors. We all thank you for it!
