BTB104: Before The Bestseller | Friday Sessions: From Gathering Amazon Reviews to Building Author Communities

Today, we’re featuring a special episode from one of our Friday Sessions with Laura Russom, our Director of Author Success to share valuable insights from our years of experience in the community. This session aims to equip authors with essential tools and deepen their understanding of the publishing industry!

We’re excited to welcome three amazing authors: Brooke Bussard, MD, author of Chew On This: Bite-Sized Stories about Nutrition; Nathan Tanner, who wrote The Unconquerable Leader: Mastering the Internal and External Game and Not Your Parents' Workplace: Critical Lessons for Interns and Young Professionals; and Susan Keller, whose works include Blood Brother: A Memoir and Mostly Sober: A Love Story and a Road Trip. Together, we’ll explore effective book marketing strategies and the crucial role of gathering Amazon reviews.

Join us as we dive into practical tips for collecting reviews, leveraging personal connections, and using storytelling to engage potential reviewers. We’ll address common challenges authors face, discuss ethical practices for requesting feedback, and provide actionable steps to boost visibility and sales.
