Get my 50 page Playbook with the secrets & strategies to getting book reviews consistently! In 72 hours, I'm releasing this Indie author's complete guide to book reviews. It's a step-by-step playbook where you will learn how to: - Build an ARC team from scratch — even with zero email subscribers — and walk into launch day with 10–20 honest reviews already locked in - Land free editorial reviews (and know exactly when to submit to each) - Save hundreds of dollars by getting a discount with paid review companies that most authors don't know exist - Recruit pre-launch readers using ready-to-paste scripts for email, social posts, and DMs — no awkward asks, no winging it - Turn every "I loved your book!" comment into an actual posted review with one short reply - Find out what the highest-converting review move is in indie publishing, and almost no one uses it - Know exactly which paid review services are Amazon-safe — and which ones get books delisted and accounts banned - Pitch Bookstagrammers, BookTokkers, and book bloggers in your genre with messages they'll actually respond to - Get your book in front of library acquisitions buyers through the four services they actually trust to decide what to stock - Follow a unified launch calendar that maps every action from six months pre-launch through six weeks post — no guesswork, no missed windows - Pick the right path for your book with two complete worked-example strategies — one for fiction, one for non-fiction — instead of cobbling together generic advice Everything you need to stop launching in silence and start launching with momentum is in this playbook. Honestly, it's INVALUABLE for every author releasing a book—with the most up-to-date information at your fingertips! Before this goes live, I'm offering it FREE to the first 10 people to reply to me while we're still in the formatting stage before release. If you would like to read the playbook, it's yours FREE in exchange for one honest review on Amazon when it's released in the next few days.
