“Amazon book reviews are my new love language.” – Ali Abdaal

I couldn’t agree more with Ali! We all rely on strangers’ opinions and experiences with goods and services we contemplate purchasing. It comes as no surprise that books on Amazon are heavily dependent on reviews for sales and for Amazon’s algorithm to suggest them to people. That is even more true for independent authors like me! 

The Simple Truth: Reviews on Amazon MAKE or BREAK a book’s launch.

So, with my hat in my hand, I humbly ask for your support in one of three ways. 

  1. ♥ Buy a copy of the book during the first week of the book’s launch (July 29 – August 5). The book will be available in ebook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook formats. I’ve priced the book as low as Amazon will allow.

  2. ♥♥ Buy a copy of the book and write a review. Your comments will help my book reach someone who needs it. Reviews can be one or two sentences. I even have some review templates you can use as thought starters to make the process even easier! Additionally, I have links to a book summary document, story excerpts, and the full PDF of the book provided in the section below. It would be ideal if the reviews were submitted by July 24 as Amazon takes time to post them. That said, I’ll gladly accept a review whenever you are willing to provide one!

  3. ♥♥♥ Buy a copy of the book, write a review, and tell the people in your network about the book. (A girl can dream. ☺)

Everything you need is below: From summary documents to the full eBook, links to all the Amazon pages, and even starter review templates are provided below.

Any support you provide is a gift. I am thankful!

PS: If you are in the process of writing your own (or next) book or launching an effort that needs a little extra support, I’d love to support you in turn. Writing and launching a book or other business venture is an adventure in self-discipline, mind-game shenanigans, and sheer grit. If I can help you, friend, count me in!

1) HOW THE REVIEW PROCESS WORKS

  • You don’t have to buy the book to review it.

  • You must have purchased at least $50 with Amazon in the last year.

  • You don’t have to read the entire book to review it. I’ve provided a summary of the book that includes the core concepts, writing samples, and the overall structure and intent of the book. 

  • If you would like to read the entire book, that’s amazing! Let me know your thoughts! The entire manuscript is provided as a pdf. 

  • If you purchase the paperback ($9.99) and leave a review, it will appear as a “verified purchase” on your review.

  • If you don’t buy the book (and that’s totally OK), just start the review with “I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.” Easy peasy.

2) LINKS FOR
EASY ACCESS

To make this process as easy as possible, here are the links you need all in one place.

3) THE EASY BUTTON:
REVIEW TEMPLATES

While I love AI and leveraged it occasionally for research, the content of the book (all 70,000 words) came from my experiences, education, and brain alone. And yes, I’m exhausted… So, I had an AI tool “read” my book and draft eight fill-in-the-blank template reviews to provide you with an easy starting place when drafting your own review.

You certainly don’t have to use the templates, but I found them to be great thought starters. I’m offering them here in case you want help to kick-start your thinking and make writing a review much easier!
