It seems so difficult to get people to leave reviews even when they read and like your book. Then there are the tough ones that do leave reviews but don't understand the genre!
Good, constructive reviews help writers become better writers, even if they aren't always 5 stars. A review should never be written just to tear a writer down. What's the point of that?
I applaud the people who point out ways to improve and what they liked with a little honest detail that proves they actually read what I spent so much effort writing for their pleasure!

I received a few dings in reviews for my novel, The Fallen, the past couple of months because of editing issues. Unfortunately, the criticisms were largely correct and it made me realize I couldn't rely on Grammarly to be my copy editor.

To my great fortune, I found Kristy Stewart of LooseleafEP.com and she did a terrific job of going line by line through the entire manuscript cleaning up all the little bugs. Now, I am confident that The Fallen is the quality work that I intended it to be and look forward to using her services for many of my novels in the future.
