You always have the best links here, Elizabeth! Thanks for all the work you do to curate them. This week, I especially noticed the one about asking for reviews. I'm always stuck on that issue, actually. It's not easy for me to call attention to myself that way. And then, there's the case of nerves that go with it… But reviews drive attention and sales, so…
You can always put it in the back of your book so it’s less direct. :) I also hate promo, but slipping it in my back matter makes it easier.
This is a great suggestion, makes it less intrusive (and also if there were any DNF readers, only the most engaged would see the call to review, too).
Good point!
Thanks for including Now Novel in your excellent round-ups, Elizabeth. Looking forward to dipping into these insights.
My pleasure, Jordan!
