WHO BENEFITS FROM BOOK REVIEWS?

Writing and sharing a book review is a benefit for the writing and reading community.  

·         By writing a book review and posting it online, you help like-minded readers discover a great book, and you help the author by providing valuable feedback.

·         Over 85% of all Amazon Kindle readers rely heavily on book reviews before making an online order to have the copy of the book.

·         More reviews get authors exposure to other book review sites, blogging communities, and book clubs. Before you can post a review, you need to have an Amazon account that has successfully been charged for the purchase of a physical or digital item. Free digital downloads don't qualify.  You don't need to have purchased the book you're reviewing. There's a 48-hour waiting period after your first physical order has been shipped or your digital item has been purchased before you'll be able to submit your review.

S    Steps to Submitting a Review on Amazon: 1) Go to the product detail page for the book on Amazon.ca or Amazon.com ; 2) Click "Write a Customer Review" in the customer review section; 3) Click "Submit".

 

·         Bottom line: More reviews equal more sales for authors and more informed readers.
