Writing Tip:
Get a reliable water bottle. Doesn't matter what you fill it with. Just find a container that's big and reliable. Nothing ruins writing flow more than having to get up for the sixth time to grab a drink, and losing all that precious focus.

The Author & Book Reviews

Why ask for book reviews?

We know each book review raises visibility.

After ~25 reviews, Amazon may include your book in the 'also bought'. It's rumored that at ~50 reviews, your book's discoverability is increased.

Writing Tip:
Don't assume that your editor/test reader is going to catch every error you've made in a current draft. Go back and go over the stuff they didn't give you notes for. Even if they say it's fine. Not obsessively, but with a keen eye.

On this day in 1960, Penguin Books was found not guilty of obscenity for publishing Lady Chatterley’s Lover. The novel, by D. H. Lawrence was titillating for its time, leading to the British government prosecuting the publisher.
