I LOVE MY REVIEW TEAM.
About five months ago I made a call out on my newsletter for readers willing to join.
I hope it’s been beneficial for those who have signed up to be part of the team. The reviews so far for the ROT series and Raising Lazarus suggest it has, and for that I’m grateful.
Now, I’m opening the doors again for others to join.
What’s required?
- Do you enjoy reading books?
- Are you willing to leave a review of the book on Amazon when it is published?
Well, then that’s pretty much it.
Some benefits to the readers?
- They get to read the stories before anyone else.
- They don’t pay for them.
- They can offer suggestions to improve, influence the story.
- And…from today I’m going to be acknowledging every single contributor personally in a section on the paperbacks.
From an author perspective, it’s wonderful to have a team that can spot last minute typos and provide reviews on launch day. Nothing worse than having a bare book without any reviews.

Good luck with this. I would love to help but as I am am author that follows you and enjoys your blog Amazon will most likely not allow it. So just letting you know you do a great job
The ‘Zon are doing their best to make it harder for us Barbara, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that! Thanks for commenting 🙂
I was really thrilled to see this! I immediately clicked the link to join but it said that the review has to be posted on amazon. I couldn’t do that since amazon requires purchased books and I don’t have one since parents won’t let me (I’m a student.) Anyway, thanks for the opportunity not just for me but for everyone. I downloaded your first book to my kindle.
Hi Merv – I’ve left reviews on Amazon on books that I’ve picked up in second hand stores. The reviews post absolutely fine – as long as you have an amazon account.
Awesome. Thank you
