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:
My Brother’s Keeper
A. J. Farris
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432784287
As we face our demise, we wonder what lead up to this point. “My Brother’s Keeper” follows Morgan Sheldon, as he faces accusations of a murder he holds was in self-defense, but no one will believe his claims. As his world collapses around him, he looks for anything to prove his innocence, as time runs shorter and shorter. “My Brother’s Keeper” is a strong pick for general fiction collections, very much recommended.
