Shay Smith | 1 comments Hi Everyone.

I am looking for reviews for my first two books. I am a new author and new member of goodreads.

Anyone who is looking to review please let me know.

Thank you
Shay

Keep in mind that the vast majority of avid readers, for whatever reason, choose to never post a rating or review, positive or negative, so do not allow a lack of reviews to discourage you from pursuing your desire to write and publish.

Reviews are merely personal, and therefore subjective, opinions. One reader's Best book ever! might very well be another reader's Worst book ever!, which is why most readers do not allow a review to influence their purchasing decisions one way or the other.

Contrary to what many novice authors believe, sales drive reviews, not the other way around.

Very few novice authors ever attain commercial success or even notoriety within this extremely competitive field. That said, some have. There is no reason why you might not eventually become one of them. I wish you success.
