The Footnotes: How to Actually Get Book Reviews


Listen Later

Getting reviews for your book is a lot like getting testimonials when you first start your coaching practice. You know they matter. What nobody tells you is how hard they are to get.

In this solo episode, Helen shares why book reviews are so important, how to build a review strategy before you even publish, and some practical ways to make it as easy as possible for your readers to leave their thoughts.

In this episode:

  • Why reviews are about far more than the warm and fuzzies
  • What an ARC is and how to use advanced readers to kickstart your launch
  • Where to direct readers, and why Goodreads is becoming increasingly important
  • The paid services that connect you with reviewer communities
  • The rules of asking well: be specific, give the link, and say thank you
