Small Tip About False Negative Reviews
Last night I lost some sleep after getting a really negative review on my book.😭 My rating dropped from 4.8 to 4 stars. I started thinking it might be a competitor because the review did not really reflect what the book is about. I've attached an image of the review, but to summarise, my book clearly says it's about scientific research and not a story! Also, how can the author leave an honest review if they have not fully read my book and especially not after a few pages. 🙈 After stressing about it for a while I decided to contact Amazon instead of just accepting it. I went into my KDP account, opened Help, then Contact Us and started a live chat with Amazon support. I explained that the reviewer said the title was misleading even though my description clearly explains what the book covers. The support agent raised it with their moderation team and said they will review it within 24 hours. I do not know yet whether they will remove it or not, but what I learned is that you do not have to just sit there worrying if something feels off about a review. If you genuinely believe a review misrepresents your book or could be from a competitor, it is worth contacting Amazon through the chat and asking them to review it against their guidelines. Just thought I would share because I honestly did not know that option existed until today. I will provide an update in a day or two and let you know if the review disappears. ☘️

Thank you for sharing. I hate when I’m reading reviews and the person admits not finishing the book. Like, why are you reviewing it then?? Amazon is good at reviewing those and handling them accordingly. Keep us posted!
Unpopular writing opinion:
One of the biggest mistakes new writers make is trying to write perfectly on the first draft. Professional writers focus on progress, not perfection. Try this simple method: 1️⃣ Write your first draft without editing 2️⃣ Take a short break 3️⃣ Edit for clarity and flow later This keeps creativity flowing and prevents writer’s block. Question for the community: What part of writing slows you down the most starting, editing, or finishing?

Hi everyone 👋 Glad to be here. I just joined the community and I’m really happy to be accepted. I’m new to the author space and hoping to learn a lot from people here who are already on this journey. I’ve always had interest in writing and storytelling, so I decided to take it seriously and start learning more about it. If anyone has advice for someone just starting out, I’d really appreciate it. Looking forward to learning, connecting, and growing with everyone here.

@Crystal Ewing Hey Crystal! I feel like I should do a post about getting your manuscript ready. I've had so many sent to me in crazy formats that just make the entire process harder. Less is more when you go into editing! lol Simple font, regular spacing, no extra jumps between paragraphs...things like that.
