Authors, this is going to sound strange coming from me, but I would like (and you don't have to do it) to get some "testimonials" I can post on the Amy's Bookshelf Reviews website. So, basically a review from you as to how I do my job on Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.
I always post on social media, especially Twitter and LinkedIn, to pull in more authors, especially those Indie authors that are just publishing their first book (remember that feeling?) and they may not realize how important reviews are. On social media, though, there have been some thoughts that I charge for reviews (which I don't, the donations are for other things, even purchasing author's books to be a verified purchase).
I just added a page here, similar to what I post on Facebook of all of the print books over the years that authors have signed for me. I so appreciate these books, as I do all books, but these are a bit special. (So, if you ever have an extra one of your books in print, and want to honor me with a signed copy, I'd LOVE it).
Anyway, I created the testimonial page, and you don't email me, you just fill out the form, and your name can be anonymous (if you want), and then within 48 hours, I will copy the testimonial to the page. The Testimonial page shows my "Reviewer" Badges given to my by other literary promoters or representatives, and I have also displayed all the autographed books that I have received.
Thank you authors. Keep sending me your work, and just so you know, truly know, that when you ask me to review, I am truly honored to read your work. It is a gift from you to me, and I hope I do that in return. All I want to do is help authors get their story told, whether it is from reviews, promotions or being literary consultant. This is something very passionate for me. (I may be on a mission for Banned Books, but it's the common cause for all of us authors, past, present and future. Write what you want, read what you want.)
Thank you
Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
