Episode 031 / If you want to increase the number of reviews on your books, check out the tips and ideas from Jami and Sara in this episode. They discuss reviews in depth: the difference between reader and professional reviews, how to get reviews, and how to use the reviews for promotion after you have them. 

Come over and say hi to Jami and Sara in the WIKT Facebook group! You can find show notes and links at wishidknownforwriters.com.

In their personal updates, Jami shared that she’s writing on her new book and working on backlist sales. Sara has a book launch coming up. It’s the fifth book in the series, so it’s a lower-key launch than Jami’s recent Book One in a new series. To promote the launch, Sara’s emailing her list and running paperback giveaways.

Jami’s branding her office with wood-cut letters of her author name. Head over to show notes on the WIKT website to see a photo.
