Write an Advance Review of Here to Stay/Lives in 17th Century Canada.
Thanks for stopping by! I need you help. Here to Stay/Lives in 17th Century Canada is about to launch into the world. Your advance review of Here to Stay will be an important element of its success.
What is an advance review of Here to Stay?
An Advanced Review [AR] is a review you write before the publication of a book and then post at or near the time of launching.
Don’t worry: I will send reminders. Your reviews will cue the distribution media (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Draft2Digital) that the book is being read, and they ought to support it by bringing it to the attention of likely readers.
Your review will therefore bring the book before more readers than a book launched without reviews.
