Book reviews are a great way for self-publishing authors to gain exposure. After all, how can someone buy your book if he or she doesn’t know it exists? Paired with other elements of your book promotion strategy, requesting reviews is a great way to get people talking about what you’ve written.
When we read good reviews, we definitely like to share them. It gives the author a few (permanent) moments of fame and allows us to let the community know about a great book. Here’s this week’s book review by Midwest Book Review:
Corporacracy
Jerry Welch
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432763060
The power of the rich seems stronger than ever. “Corporacracy” follows Jim Curry, a journalist who discovers that the corporations behind America have far more power than previously suspected and their power over the United State is crushing. Split between having a career and fighting the corruption, Curry must think quick or find himself crushed alongside the country. “Corporacracy” is a thoughtful novel that may be closer to reality than many truly want.
