One of the easiest ways to get reviews for your book is by asking your readers! A lot of authors often forget this key step.
You don’t want to be one of *those* authors. You know the ones who are incessantly tweeting, over-promoting and basically being one of those jerks whose only purpose is to sell their books.
We all know them. The ones who jump into Twitter chats just to promote their books or spam you with emails.
Here’s a couple of ways you can engage your readers and ask for reviews elegantly. They’re so simple you can do them today.
- Have a short note at the end of your book asking readers for a review.
- Setup an author mailing list at the end of the book.
