Hook an Author Up! GIVEAWAY

As a reader and someone who only wrote for fun, I didn't understand the significance of a book review on Amazon or GoodReads. I would usually leave a review on Goodreads just to share with my fellow book lovers, not thinking about how it affected the author. I think that's pretty normal.

Well, I've since learned how much a review and rating on Amazon can influence a book's success. I think that most of the book lovers of the world would be glad to leave a quick review if they realized how much it impacts the success of an author. Not a seven paragraph, professional review-- but just a sentence or two stating how the book made them feel.


I've invited a few author friends to be part of a giveaway where, in exchange for an Honest review of one (or more) of their books, you get entered in a chance at one of two $30 Amazon Gift Cards or a three-pack of signed paperbacks! I've done it with a Rafflecopter, so it's easy for you to copy/paste your review link right into the form. Simple, right?

I'd like to introduce you to three fabulous, independently published authors- Melissa Brown, author of Bouquet Toss, Tiffany King, author of several books including Unlikely Allies, and Andrea Randall, author of Ten Days of Perfect. They've also shared a review that not only made a difference to their sales, but also affected them personally.

                             

"Melissa's novel is captivating, heart crushing and just plain REAL. Don't let the cover fool you to believe this is a Cinderella story. Pain, anguish, and uncertainty is more like it. I've so rarely seen a debutante author take the risk she took with her novel that I was completely intrigued.

This book has a little bit for all tastes, even if you don't love the story or the characters as much as I did, you will not regret reading it."

~One of my favorite reviews comes from a very picky reader named Luisa. She has amazing taste in books and I love reading her reviews. I was so floored when she a)read Bouquet Toss and b) gave it such a lovely review. Luisa knows her stuff and I'm so honored that she enjoyed my book. Every time I see her review on Goodreads or Amazon, it makes me smile with pride.~ Melissa

             

"I absolutely adore King's books, all of them, and Unlikely Allies is another gem that I highly recommend to any who enjoy a sound, realistic plot line, swoon worthy characters, a bit of drama, and a triumphant ending."

~This review made me so happy! I was trying to make my story and my characters realistic and I really got the sense that this reader understood what I was trying to do.~ Tiffany

                   

         

"This author has phenomenal character development and a story that is emotionally captivating. Surprising developments led me to yearn for more. Every turn of the page, every steamy scene, and every musical moment made this book a favorite. Can't wait for more of Ember and Bo!"

~ I worked REALLY hard on developing my characters, giving them all their own personality, so the opening line of this review meant a lot to me. ~ Andrea
