@MissDePlume posted it on Twitter. I think it’s so hard to ask for reviews, even as a publisher. But you’re right, we all need to do more of that. And not just on amazon. On Barnes&Noble. On Waterstones. On Bookshop.org. We need to share the books that really excite us! @bookstodon

@draccah @bookstodon Yes … all the reviews help! But before getting published I’d never considered leaving reviews, so I’m not surprised they’re so hard to get. (I leave reviews now, of course 🙂)

Congrats on the debut.

Try not to put too much weight behind the reviews. Focus on the things you can do that really matter.

Like your next book. :)
