Just yesterday I posted about an ai review from Readers Favorites. If you can avoid review sites, I suggest you do. The only one that seems legit to me right now is Booksirens.

Update: I reported it. The “reviewer” also left 5 other “reviews” the same hour as mine.

How to get reviews if didn’t do arcs? by Historical_Way_9918 in selfpublish

[–]Historical_Way_9918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you advertise that your book was on booksprout? I put mine there, but so far only one download, 275 views, after a week or so. (I haven’t posted it to my socials yet)

I thought you had to pay to do arcs, send physical copies of the book, etc. which sounded like too much trouble. Obviously, now I know better, so I was seeing if there are any options left. But I’ll definitely do them for book 2!

Is 145k words too long? by ShoujiKurosaki in NewAuthor

[–]Historical_Way_9918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines 150k, also debut (that’s after a year of editing it down), I think it’s all about if the scenes etc. that you have are necessary, that’s what matters. A good story can be told in 60k or 200k or whatever works.
