Standing up to cyber Bullying in the Book World
Today I want to talk about something many authors experience but rarely discuss: targeted cyber bullying through reviews.
Like many writers, I recently discovered a person from my past who went through every book I’ve written — some going back 20 years — and systematically hit them with identical 2-star ratings. No comments, no engagement, just an attempt to hurt me personally.
It stings. Of course it does. Authors put our hearts into our work.
But here’s what I’ve learned:
Reviews say much more about the reviewer than the book.
If this has happened to you, you aren’t alone. Cyber bullying is real, it’s painful, and it needs to be called out as a harmful, cowardly behavior.
I’d love to hear your stories if you’ve faced something similar. Let’s support one another.
