I was honored to be the featured speaker for the Diamond Valley Writers’ Guild on March 23, 2019. I was recommended by IBPA CEO Angela Bole to speak on the topic of book reviews.
Topics included:
- How important are reviews to the success of your book?
- How do you get more of them?
- How do authors avoid running afoul of Amazon’s review policies.
- How to leverage good reviews
- How to handle negative reviews
- 10 sources for soliciting reviews
- The benefits of writing reviews
The 85-member Diamond Valley Writers’ Guild is led by president Lynne Spreen, with programming coordinated by board member Marj Charlier. Fun fact: the Hemet Library history dates from 1906 and in 1910 they received a grant from the Carnegie Library foundation.
