I'd like to review books for this group!
Can a location guide for my novel Sevenland count? Its under 50k words with 41 pages and I would like feedback on design and easiness to read.

Hi J.P. thanks for the review! I couldn't get the review links to work - system down, or something like that. I'll try them later. The reviews are turning up with the book, so that's OK. I couldn't be cheeky and ask you to add them to the 'paperback' version?

This is too much information here, Alistair, and not necessary. Thanks, but maybe you could send it directly to J.P. or find the correct forum under another banner?

No problem :-) After all too much enthusiasm is always a welcome "error" in a completely textual context.

Phew... say that when you've had a few!
I've just completed my two reads and will post the reviews this weekend. :) G
I just posted my review of JP Wilson's Through The Mind's Eye on Amazon.com and Goodreads. How do you post it on Amazon.co.uk?
Well, I just logged into my account on Amazon.co.uk that I created to update my author page and was able to post it there. The Amazon.com review is now live. https://www.amazon.com/Through-Minds-...

Thank you Chris and Alistair.
It's very helpful Chris if you can include all three links to your review, ie. Goodreads as well. Thanks.
Alistair, I noticed that you used Brandon's first name in your review and mentioned contacting him. If you indicate in your review that you "know" the author (associate, friend, family etc) then you risk having it and all similar reviews rejected and deleted by Amazon. I'm sorry to bring this up but it happens - personal experience.
G.J.
Hi G.J. Thanks for pointing that out - obviously not my intention, nor was it a partisan review, but I'll bear that in mind in future.
Cheers, Alistair.

I'm sorry, Gregory, but neither of these review links are to J.P. Wilson's book in Round 2 or Chris Stoesen's book Round 1. I could have made a mistake but if I'm correct then I must ask you delete them. This is important about Agent Mauve in particular as this would be a reciprocal review - banned in these groups! I must insist you keep to the assigned books to remain a member of the group, so hope it is a mistake that can be corrected?
Please check the schedule above again ie. message 12. Thanks.
G.J.
Ordering JP. Will delete the other review. G

Are there more than 2 rounds of reviews? Just trying to check and see if I have more work to do.
Chris wrote: "Are there more than 2 rounds of reviews? Just trying to check and see if I have more work to do."Hey Chris, this is not "official" but the answer to your question would be- NO-.
Just the two as far as I can see, unless there is some hidden message we are both missing here?

In joining this review group you will have agreed to review the books etc assigned to you on a two month schedule. Once the sign up phase is over then the review stage begins with a schedule of assignments set by the moderator.
This is the Short Works peer review group which will include all types of published books such as novellas, articles, poetry collections. As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the book assigned to you. Assignments will be made after the group sign-up has filled.
Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. The review should be posted to Goodreads and Amazons US & UK at the same star level, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon a requirement.
This topic will be updated with the list of authors as they sign up with their names and Goodreads links to authors and their books. First come: first served. This is an authors only peer review group.
