Writing for Your Nonfiction Email List

Posted on by Sue L Canfield

Your nonfiction email list subscribers may have signed up when you offered a valuable free report. Perhaps you shared tips from your book. To keep your email list subscribers you’ll need to continue offering valuable content with each email you send. When you do this your readers will come to know that you are an authority in your field. It’s you they’ll turn to when they need information on the topic you’re an authority on.

Don’t hold back thinking you’ll save it for your next book. You can still include it in the book, perhaps expanded with more details and statistics. In fact, you’ll be more likely to sell more books to your list because they will have a taste of what’s in it. As with any other marketing, remember the 80/20 rule and provide 80% content to 20% book marketing in your emails. … more … “Writing for Your Nonfiction Email List”

How to Get Book Reviews

Posted on by Sue L Canfield

Book reviews help your potential readers decide if your book is right for them. (They also help folks determine that your book isn’t right for them, which helps your real fans self-identify.) The more reviews you have, the better your potential readers can determine if it’s a book they want. There are several ways to get book reviews.

One way is to be proactive and ask your readers for an honest review. You can include a request for a review at the end of your book – both in your print copies and digital versions. You might say, “Thank you for reading my book. I hope you enjoyed it. If you found the book useful, please leave a review on Amazon. Reviews keep me encouraged to keep writing.” Include a link to your book page so it will be easy for them to find it to review.

Another source of reviews is to ask those who have written a cover blurb. Once the book has been published, ask them if they would mind posting their review on Amazon.

On Amazon, find reviewers of similar books who include contact information in their profile. Reach out to them with a message such as “I saw you reviewed [title of book in same genre as yours]. I wondered if you’d be interested in reading [title of your book]. I’d be happy to send you a free digital or print review copy. I’d appreciate your honest review at Amazon. Thank you.”

There are other online reviewers and bloggers who review as well. If you offer to send them an ARC (Advanced Review Copy), they may be more than happy to post an online review or review the book on their blog.
