Lucy Edwards:
As a new author, are you worried about bad reviews? Would it put you off writing another book?
Lucy Edwards
I think every author worries a little about bad reviews but my personal opinion is, if your worried that much about bad reviews then don't write a book in the first place. You will NEVER please everyone and not everyone will like your work. I think you have to be able to take criticism and while I'm happy with the books I've written, i'm prepared to take a bad review on the chin. I've not had a bad review yet as my books are fairly new but I'm sure I'll get them. Bad reviews will never put me off writing another book. The right amount of constructive criticism could actually help you write better.
