How to Get Your Book Reviewed discussion

Hi,
I've finally finished Book 3 of my trilogy 'The Main Man' and I'm looking for some honest reviews of all three in the series. It would be easier to start with Book 1 though! They are contemporary/realistic books with a nature or nurture theme laced with suspense and black humour. All three are FREE to download from Amazon 27/28 March. I would be happy to reciprocate, depending on genre. I'm not interested in fantasy or horror. Link to Book 1 is www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07PBKTZMF

I'd be happy to reciprocate, but I can't post to Amazon as I haven't spent the required amount. I'd be happy to post to Goodreads or wherever. My debut novel is live on Amazon only at the moment. It's a Family Saga. Here's a link so you can view the ‘read inside’ excerpt. If it appeals to you I can send you an ARC ebook.

Hi. I'm happy to take a look at your book but I can't see the link!

I'm having problems putting my reply in the right place! Thanks for the link. I have downloaded it on KU. As I said before, my books are free to download this weekend.

Thanks, Jane. I'll grab them now. Tell me, does having a KU account qualify us to leave reviews? I very rarely buy from Amazon, and never from the US site as I'm in Australia and Amzn always redirect us if we try to buy there. Maybe I should subscribe?

I can't access the books on the UK site and it seems they're not listed on AU. Could you send me epubs? tpg@thomasgreenbank.com

Hi Thomas. My books are definitely available on AU site. They are meant to be available worldwide. I've just checked on my KDP bookshelf and all 3 come up on AU. It might have been either a temporary blip or the device you are using. Sometimes I've noticed that I can't buy books via my phone but can from my laptop! As for leaving reviews through KU - some people say that they've managed it without spending $50 over 12 months but their review didn't tag up as a verified purchase. No definitive answer on that one!

I've just noticed that the link to buy is very small. it is directly under the large box which says Kindle Unlimited, just before the start of the blurb.

Hi, Jane. I found them eventually. I had to search using the series and also your name. Searches for "the main man" didn't show them. All 3 are now on our iPad. Cheers. Thomas.

Currently reading your book which I am enjoying. However, I found a couple of mistakes in Chapter 13 where you assigned speech to Jamie instead of Malcolm just after his accident. It threw me momentarily!

WOW. I just read the chapter through.
How the hell did that slip through? I'm heading over to Amzn right now to fix those.
Thanks for pointing them out.

Thanks, Jane.
All fixed now. Well spotted, by the way. Maybe I should hire you as a proof-reader. LOL.
Hope you're enjoying the book.

Hi, Jane. I posted a review here on Goodreads to the first book. Thanks for your generous review of GOLD! by the way.
Are you able to post to Amazon US?
Thanks again. Now to finish the series.

Hi all,
I am a debut author and have recently published my novella on Amazon. I would by glad if some of you show support and review my book too.
Here's the link to my book on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...

Hi Thomas. Thanks for the review, I'm sorry that it wasn't quite your thing! I have posted a review on Amazon UK which is the only platform possible for me, I'm afraid.

PS I post as Bookworm on Amazon. The review is worded the same on both Amazon and Goodreads. I wish they all showed up on Amazon wherever you lived. Book 3 of my trilogy looks as if it only has one review, but I've actually got 1 UK and 1 US!

Thanks, Jane. Yes, it'd be great if Amazon would publish all reviews to all sites, wouldn't it? I've been told they will eventually trickle across, but I don't know if we can rely on that. Keep up the good work, and all the best with your next project. Anything in the pipeline?

Hi William. My next project will be a crime/suspense novel inspired by the penultimate chapter of Book 3: The Devil's Servant. The characters will be a mix of new characters and the police officers introduced in that chapter. But I'm having a bit of a break now - just mulling it all over in my head.

I am seeking honest reviews! I am willing to trade. I can post on Amazon, because I buy from the site regularly. Posting reviews is no problem; however, I need someone to read my book that can also post to Amazon and Goodreads an honest review.

I prefer to read PDF
Thank you!

Hi, Carol. I can't post to Amazon, as I haven't spent the required amount and in any case, I live in Australia.
If you're interested, I'll be happy to review on Goodreads, BookBub, or wherever. You can see my reviewing style here:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I can send you PDF, MOBI, or EPUB.
Of course, my book GOLD! is free on KU if you're a subscriber.

Hi, Carol. Thank you for your review of GOLD!
Can you send a copy of your book to lintom4761@yahoo.com? That's my Ipad email. I usually read on that these days, unless I have a physical book, of course. Any format is fine.
Thanks. Thomas.
PS: Just a heads-up: Amazon don't really like review swaps. They've been known to disallow reviews posted in exchange if they see a connection between the reviewers. (We will be OK because I'll be posting to Goodreads)
