Tips and Best Practices for Book Reviewing

February 1, 2019 by Nora 21 Comments

Today, I want to talk about something a little different. It’s a little risky, this topic of leaving reviews for books, because authors talking about reviews is a gray area. So let me start off by saying that this was at the request of one of my readers, not of my own initiative. And second, I want to make crystal clear that I respect each and every review, positive or negative, and I wouldn’t dream of interfering with the review freedom readers have. Just so there’s no shadow of a doubt there.

The question this reader asked was if I had any tips for leaving a good review, like best practices. So here are some of my thoughts. [Read more…] about Tips and Best Practices for Book Reviewing

Where To Start with Book Marketing

January 30, 2019 by Nora 2 Comments

Maybe after reading this series on marketing and selling MM romances, you are both excited and overwhelmed about everything you feel like you have to do. That’s completely normal. When I started doing my research before launching my first book, I remember feeling desperate at times, like I would never master all these skills that were apparently necessary to sell books, or remember all the information I needed to.

I won’t deny that there’s a lot to learn if you’re just starting out. So let’s talk about that little today. Where do you start? [Read more…] about Where To Start with Book Marketing

What Makes Readers Buy or Download a Book?

January 24, 2019 by Nora Leave a Comment

As you probably know by now, I love doing polls in my reader group. I learn tons about my readers and their preferences, but also about trends in the MM romance market and more. My last question to them was this: what makes you buy or download a book?

Note that we’re not talking about actually reading a book here, since the motivation to buy can be different from the motivation to decide to read something right now. But I was curious what makes readers decide to buy a book on Amazon (or download it through KU, which is the same process for me). [Read more…] about What Makes Readers Buy or Download a Book?
