"OPINIONATED"
Why Readers Opinions Matter
Everyone
has opinions these days and often an unpleasant reminder when compared to
armpits and other orifices. Whether it’s about politics, religion, or how we raise
our children, some individuals can be critical or bias when voiced.
Still, in some cases, opinions are
welcomed and necessary. Such as writers and authors whose survival depends on
one sharing their thoughts.
My mother used to say, and I quote, “if
you have nothing good to say, then keep quiet.” Okay, I get that, but I want to
hear your thoughts on the business level.
However, as an author and writer, I don’t
speak for all writers, but I welcome all thoughts and opinions related to my
work and prepared to accept the consequences.
It is the difference between having
a fruitful harvest or dying on the vine.
The
majority of readers understand the importance of how much opinions matter. And
liberally share their thoughts. They get that what they say about your work
matters.
But not all readers, for whatever
reason, don’t realize how vital book reviews are.
Yes, I discussed last week why
authors depend on book reviews to boost notoriety and aid in book sales. Yet, I
can not express enough why I’m on repeat about this subject.
We love sparkling reviews as an
outward showing of a great job poured into creating a book worthy of the
praise.
First and foremost, I’m a fan and
cheerleader for all the authors who take nothing for granted, including your
opinions. And thankful for how you receive our work.
We appreciate the time and thought
invested in honest opinions when writing a review.
I’ve written many reviews and given
stars based on my honest and best impression of an author’s work.
Doing that means that you appreciate
the authors, the story, characters, and details.
Thank you for being opinionated when
expressing your most profound thoughts about what you read.
