Using Book Reviews to Launch Your Success

When was the last time you read your book reviews on Amazon?

Book reviews can be a goldmine for authors wanting to find out how they can improve their books (yes, even after they're published) and reviews can also offer you some outstanding insights into other, potentially creative markets you may want to dig into. Readers who are authentic in their reviews  will tell you what you got right, and what you got wrong. Tune in to this episode for some insights, some brutal truth, and a few laughs along the way. Ever honest, Amy and Penny break it down for you in ways that will help you not just succeed, but maybe unearth flaws that may be preventing your book from being all it can be!
