Episode 043
Released on: October 15, 2023
In this episode, Shanon and Ben are joined by authors and YouTubers Laura Nettles, who writes adult and middle grade horror and sci-fi and dark fantasy, and Bethany Votaw, who writes short fiction and thrillers. They discuss Linda Stirling’s book, “How to Get Reviews & Endorsements.” This book is all about how authors can seek out various types of reviews for their published books. Stirling breaks this down into four different types, which the host discuss those types and the strategies she offers. They also discuss what they learned or were surprised about, what may not have been as helpful for them and why, and what best tip they learned. You’ll also get to see why Ben was the spicy one of this review group!
Honorable mention and shoutout should have been noted! Bethany Votaw has been a guest on the podcast before, where she shared her insights about being a ghostwriter while also being an author. You can catch her episode here: https://youtu.be/jAZcnzRFXqg.
