There’s in nothing an author likes better than a good review. And even a not-so-good review can still help an author to know where their work might be lacking, or where they may have missed the mark. Reviews are so important!

I always try to leave reviews for books, at least on Amazon, and as many of you know, I also review many other author’s works here on this blog. Although the beast that is Amazon is a bit unruly, it is where authors get the most sales, and so a simple review left there does actually really make a difference. It’s important to support your favourite authors in this way, although if you simply cannot tolerate Amazon, there are other review sites such as Goodreads which will benefit them as well.

I’m still getting feedback from my latest book, The Path of the Hedge Witch. More is always appreciated, of course, so please, leave a review if you haven’t already! What I would really like to know in a review is:

Did this book help you in some way?

Which parts really resonated with you?

Did you enjoy the style and tone of the work?

Was it easy to understand?

Would you recommend it to others?

If time is of the essence, then simply leave a star rating, eg. 4 out of 5 stars. This takes a mere second to click on the star rating you desire, and then you’re done. You don’t even have to write anything, just rate the book. This is yet another simple and effective way to support your favourite authors.

Last year I wrote a post on how to write meaningful book reviews, which you can always take a look at if you are interested. Not all book reviews need to be glowing endorsements of the work, but you can always write a good, critical review while being respectful and honest. This blog post was written from the perspectives of being an author, a book-lover and reviewer!

So, if you haven’t already, I would love to hear from you regarding The Path of the Hedge Witch. Feel free to leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, wherever you can, regarding the points mentioned above. This helps me not only to continue as an author, but to improve as an author.

And to everyone who has supported me on this journey of over a decade now, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
