Update on Book Give-a-Way
As you may recall I did a book giveaway last year. Well over three hundred readers requested the copy. Ultimately Goodreads selected 20 winners. Each of these winners have already received an autographed copy of Perished: The World That Was.
As previously reported I was greatly pleased by the response to my very first giveaway. I came away very impressed. But as pleased as I was, I had greater pleasure when I recently received my first review - a 5 Star review as a result!
Many of the winners have listed the book on their 'books-to-read' and 'currently reading' shelves. No doubt I will be receiving more results in the near future.
I would be dishonest to say I don't really care about reviews when I actually do. Why? Because it verifies my own opinion and encourages me to continue writing. Great reviews with or without explanatory text are tremendously gratifying.
For those of you who were unaware of the book giveaway I offered 20 autographed copies of Perished. Because of the success of the project (I'm not counting reviews in the success formula) I will probably use book giveaways in the future, especially for my newest novel Abraham Called the Friend of God.
I must admit that when I first learned of book giveaways I was a little intimidated and confused. How can giving away your book help sales? But I now believe that all it takes is one reader with a lot of followers to give you a high rating and it can go viral. If that happens I will probably kick myself and ask, "Why didn't you do that sooner?"
Autographed copies of this book are available at T&R Independent Books.
