My review:


4.75 out of 5 stars


How to Sell Books by the Truckload on Amazon - 2020 Updated Edition by Penny Sansevieri contains great information, laid out in an easy-to-follow format with pertinent illustrations (a little hard to see in the review copy, but hopefully they are larger in the published version).

I particularly appreciate having detailed explanations for how to use various aspects of Amazon and Goodreads as well as observations on what will and will not work and pitfalls to avoid. I am always energized after reading one of this author's books, and this is no exception, although my head is buzzing with ideas on what to try, so I suggest reading a couple of chapters at a time and putting those into practice rather than trying to do everything at once. There are so many little gems that it becomes challenging to decide what to focus on first. The bonus resources alone are invaluable because they will save time by providing links to sites that can help spread the word about your book (if you follow the author's advice and approach folks in the proper manner).

I've spent a lot of time telling some of my authors bits and pieces of the advice that is included in this book. It is wonderful to have all of this in one volume that I can recommend!

4.5 stars


The Newbie’s Guide to Sell More Books With Less Marketing by Chris Syme is Book 3 of the ‘SMART Marketing for Authors’ series.

The title of this non-fiction self-help book is self-explanatory, and a quick peek at the table of contents shows the way the author starts with the basics and builds on each concept to walk one through the thought processes and actions needed to maximize the results of each step. I love the straightforward and simple language that reminds one to work within one’s budget and have realistic expectations. Even better, research studies are liberally cited to back up the sometimes eye-opening premises such as the effectiveness or lack thereof of certain types of social media. There are very nice bonuses, such as the online course that is included, the reference sites that are given, and, above all, the encouragement offered.

There are excellent take-away messages that are clearly laid out, for those at various stages of tech savvy and authorship, and I can’t imagine anyone not finding this to be a valuable resource. I am fascinated to compare the advice given with the interactions I have as a reader and find how nicely it dovetails with my own experiences. Truly, presenting an excellent product then forming a connection with a reader that converts him or her into a loyal follower is great advice, and this book gives a blueprint that will aid one in achieving that goal.
