I write book and TV series reviews on Amazon, Barnes & Noble (new), Instagram and on this, my newly revamped self-built website.
When Covid first hit, work from home was quick to follow. I decided to see how many books I could read in one year and write a review each time on Amazon and Instagram. Rather than read my staple go-to authors, I wanted to expand my horizons more by reading books by first-time or new-to-me authors.
This proved to be a (mostly) advantageous move and the experience opened the door to many great works of fiction and non-fiction.
I don’t get paid to review books, but I have been fortunate enough to receive books from various publishers and authors (who reached out to me on Twitter) in exchange for genuine reviews. In some cases, the freebie I was given was so good I went off and purchased more by the same author.
Twitter Writing Community
On Twitter I follow the #writingcommunity and #writing hashtags; an excellent mix of established and first-time authors, soon-to-be published authors (that’s me!), literary agents, publishers, promoters, and more.
Unpublished Today, Tomorrow Maybe
And yes, I am an unpublished author. I’ve written a book and spent years tinkering with it.
Happy Reading!
