BellaOnline Forums .Private. Book Writing Support Group Need Votes / Stars for your Book? Post Here!

If you've got a book or ebook out there in the sales universe somewhere, you know that people are far more likely to buy if they see that it's gotten a good rating.

Post the link here to your book or ebook. We'll help out by offering ratings of your work! Let us know if you offer review copies, if we can't afford to buy your item

For example, Peter, our Wine Editor, has written a lovely book on Pinotage -

Pinotage

I love the cover

What are the links to your books?

Wow, great cover! I'm not a wine drinker, but the story is amazing! I love the description of Peter as a modern day Indiana Jones, too!

I'm dying for some reviews on "Tracking Your Headache & Migraine Triggers." I've sent out review copies to some folks, and still haven't gotten any yet on the two sites it's been uploaded to, so it's been discouraging.

I'll be happy to provide a review copy, or you can download it through the BellaOnline ebooks link in the admin panel.

It's at Amazon and Smashwords, and you can post reviews in either location.

This is a great idea, Lisa!

ETA: Especially on Amazon, tags are important. If you have a book uploaded there, make sure you add tags. As people agree with the tags, they help you to place better in searches.

Dear Cricket -

I'll put that on my to-do list and try to work on that this weekend!

Our Mused Literary Magazine needs some stars for its issues -

Thanks so much!

The book I've written is called "Homeschooling Boys - Gaining Maximum Success from Minimum Cooperation". It is for sale on

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

and

Smashwords

Now that's the kind of cover I love - the Pinotage book. Extremely well done and compelling.

I gave Lisa's review a useful rating to help Peter out.

I also gave some ratings to several of the Mused issues.

I will try to come into this forum as i get a few moments here and there to help people out.

Tina - I'll take a look - that's far out of my experience area, but I'll see what I can do! Interestingly my son *was* homeschooled by my ex-husband's wife, but he's now graduated college, so that was a while ago.

Jilly - Debi Gardiner did Peter's cover, I adored her design for Peter's book. She's the same designer who did my covers. We asked for different things, as you can probably guess

I highly recommend Debi. She did my RomanceClass logo and my WineIntro logo. I caveat that she's not cheap, but to me she's worth it. Also it's not like she's living the high life on her income. She is struggling to pay her mortgage, so I feel like I'm helping a very creative person manage to survive. There's so much competition now with people offering to do the same type of work for far less. The competitors often aren't nearly as good, but in the creative field often it doesn't matter to the client.
