"Five stars! I'm speechless! I can't begin to tell you what a pearl this book is for self-publishing authors. I honestly could not put this book down; I read it from cover to cover until after midnight. The author has a wealth of knowledge on this topic; I can't believe how much I learned from her tonight! She even gives webinars and doing live events for authors. I am a master coach, trainer, and author, so I know talent when I see it! I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind spending some time getting coached on this topic by the author."

From the Inside Flap
EXCERPT FROM FEARLESS AUTHOR Getting Editorial ReviewsThere are so many author Facebook groups or online author and writer groups that you can join to interact with other authors. Writing a book can be such a lonely journey and your friends and family might not really understand why you are so passionate about your book. You can easily find other writers online who will share your enthusiasm and understand your struggles and appreciate your milestones.Once you make some friends with other writers and authors online, you can help each other out. You can write each other editorial reviews and regular reviews. You can also cross-promote each other on your email lists. You could even make a boxset with your fellow authors and further drive sales to each other's books. Editorial reviews are the reviews you sometimes see in the beginnings of books or on the backs or covers of books. They vary in length. You could put a short one or a snippet of one on your cover, such as, "A five-star read," or "Impossible to put down." As for your longer editorial reviews that are usually a paragraph or two in length, you can put these in your book description box in KDP right under your description. You can also add it to the editorial Review section in Author Central. When doing this, make sure you copy and paste the review into Notepad or WordPad on your computer, then copy it from there and paste it into Author Central. If you don't do this, it might mess up the formatting and make the words run together. Put your editorial reviews everywhere you can. These are your "social proof," showing people that other authors appreciate your book. When asking other authors for editorial reviews, make it worthwhile for them. Offer to return the favor, and also include their website and book links in the review. It's like free advertising for them. It's a win-win situation for both of you.To make it easy on them, send the abridged version of your book for them to read. That way if they don't have time to read the whole thing, they can still write a thorough and honest review.To make it even easier, you could write a few sample editorial reviews for your eBook and send them to the author, letting them know that they can pick one if they don't have time to write their own. Also let them know they could tweak them to make it sound more like their own wording. The easier and quicker you make it for people, the more likely they will agree to do it, especially with more well-known authors.You can add a "Praise for (your book title)" section in the beginning of your book and add all the editorial reviews there. At least four or five is good, but you don't want to overwhelm the readers with pages and pages or else they will just skip over them. If you do get a bigger amount of them, you could put a few in your book, a few other ones in your eBook description and a few others in your Author Central to vary them.You can ask anyone you want to write you an editorial review, but I recommend asking other authors, writers, or editors or proofreaders because they are in the writing industry. Dealing with Bad ReviewsLet's face it. You're probably going to get some negative reviews on your book, and sooner than you might think. Expect them. Most authors get them, even the famous ones. And you know what? It's ok! Not everyone will love your work.Actually, people in my group of authors say that you should celebrate when you get your first negative review because it is a sign that you are a true author. If someone doesn't like your book, that is because you can't please everyone. If you try to please everyone, you will fail!Don't take mean or negative reviews personally. I know it may seem like they are directly insulting you and your precious masterpiece that you spent so much time on, but usually reviewers are reviewing the book as a product they purchased, not you personally. And if they do direct insults at you personally, then that could mean they are jealous or just an all-around negative person who is trying to make themselves feel better by putting you down. Maybe they just had a really bad day. I cried over my first negative reviews. (Just ask my husband--he's the one who comforted me!) They made me feel down for a few days and made me lose sleep. Even the ones that weren't even accurate and the one from the person who clearly did not read the book and just skimmed over it. When you work so hard on a book for months or years, it hurts when someone bashes it.I'm a very sensitive person, but I am getting better at shrugging off the mean reviews and making my book better when people critique it. When I got my last negative review I actually wasn't bothered by it. I check my reviews every day! I probably shouldn't even read the negative ones, but I just can't help it.So, when you get negative reviews, take a deep breath and ask yourself if you can take what they said and use it to make your book better. Look up your favorite books of all time on Amazon and read the negative reviews. See? Even the most amazing books to you still probably have negative reviews! Then, if you are really daring, click on your reviewer's name and read their other reviews. I'm guessing there is a good chance that they left a bunch of other negative reviews. Doing both of these things help me feel a lot better because it reminds me that I am not the only author with negative reviews. Just don't leave a defensive comment on the negative review. It might start a nasty fight. You can, however, vote "Not Helpful" on the review and ask other people to do the same to flood it out with good reviews. Send out a plea to your email list or friends on Facebook, especially in groups for authors. Vent to them. While your friends and family might not understand, they will totally get it!You can even email me at ashley@ashleyemmaauthor.com if you want to chat. I love talking to other authors about stuff like this! I've emailed other authors for emotional support and I am so grateful for them. We should all help and support each other. Just don't put yourself down. It's all part of being an author. Your book is not for everyone. You are still wonderful, motivated, successful, and talented. If you need to distract yourself to keep the negative thoughts away, then play some music, exercise, or do something you love. Just don't take it personally!
