I wrote and published a book. That should have been enough.
I did this to prove to my sibling rival, err sister, that I too, could accomplish something important. She finally believed me. That should have been enough.
Other people read my book. They liked it. That should have been enough.
Nope!
The following is a 19 step game plan you should NEVER use to get lots of book reviews.
- Feel confidant that you are the new Hemingway and the public has waited with bated breath for your book. (Contemplate whether that should be bated or baited? Feel a twinge of regret that you didn't hire a book editor.)
Finally discover a handful of book reviews have surfaced online! Here is what they look like:
- My competitive sister wrote this book. She didn't have to prove anything to me. I always knew she had it in her. Therefore I didn't need to read it. But maybe you should?
- Stephanie D. Lewis cleans house fairly well, although she doesn't do windows. My kids enjoyed their time with her but they are easily amused. Her lawn-mowing skills leave much to be desired. My name was spelled wrong in the acknowledgments page. If she would have hired me (a book editor) to help her, this would have been avoided. Pass on this atrocity!
And then nine short blurbs all thanking me for giving them "Outernet lessons" so patiently because nobody else would. Bless their hearts.
Oh....and the link to my book, you ask? Right HERE. But you are forbidden to review it.
