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!

I usually glean some interesting ideas from this podcast, but I must say I was irritated by the terminology used in the “pet peeves about covers” episode. As a lifelong artist with many friends in the business and as the current art director for my small press I kept grinding my teeth at the...Read full review »
