When you ask someone to read your book?

Well, Evie Gaughan writes on her blog what to do and what to expect for writers.

Reviews: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly 

I couldn’t agree more with her points. Begging for reviews is terrible practice but reviews authors must have.

So how do we keep our dignity?

• Remember our manners. Say please and thank you.
• Be gracious, we’re asking a big favor and may not always like the answer.
• Tell the reviewer how important they are. Authors need reviews.
• Agreeing to read our books is deserves our gratitude no matter what.
• Let the reviewer know you value their time.
• After going for the ask, let it go. Forget about it.

What do you think?

Are we becoming too rude with our expectations?

How do you find reviewers?
