Enjoyable & informative
I’m a first time listener & enjoyed this podcast. There are two things that I’d like to mention regarding reviews: First off, Amazon has started taking down reviews of friends & family. It happened to me a month ago on ALL of my books (I have 11) - each book lost 4-6 reviews overnight & these are books that have been published for a couple of years. When I reached out to Amazon multiple times, I was given the standard list of rules - no exact reason. Disappointing for sure, but other author friends said AMS is cracking down on reviews left by family & friends & even super fans following on social media. It’s happened to several of my author friends this year - not just me. Also, I leave a “letter” in my back-matter on my books (great advice) But be warned if you use the Amazon link for the reader to click to take them to the Amazon page to leave the review, if they are using an iPhone, it’s a dead link. I guess Apple & Amazon don’t play well together. Doesn’t happen on any other devices, just Apple. I read from my Kindle ap on my phone & can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to leave a review using my iPhone & the link doesn’t work. I just use my laptop now to leave reviews because I know how important reviews are to authors. I look forward to diving in to more episodes! Thanks for all the great reminders & information!

Thanks to Penny/Amy. I have learned so much from each episode. These women seem to know just what topics I need for my book marketing.

I LOVED the episode about how launching a book is like launching a business. That took the pressure off me to succeed from the outset (though I still work on their great actionable tips) and look at my writing and books from a business standpoint —success is attainable, but it’s not overnight....Read full review »
