Q: Do book reviews matter to an author?

A: The simple answer is YES! When buying something online, do you look at the product's reviews for guidance? Most do. It is no different for readers, who use both positive and negative reviews to inform their decisions. A review can narrow down whether the book matches the reader's interests and is what they are really seeking.
Reviews matter!

Can you explain your story's magic in one to two sentences to get a reporter's attention so that media coverage will follow?
To identify your personal story's magic, ask yourself these questions:

1. What was the AHA moment that encouraged you to write your book?
2. What are three ways your book impacts readers in a positive way?
3. What is the most important advice tip you offer readers?

Answering these questions can provide an excellent media hook that connects you to the reporter's audience.
