Not long ago at the meeting of my local critique group, one of the members whined about yet another 3* review. We all sympathized with her, then she looked across the table at me and moaned, “Yeah, but you get 5* reviews!”
Ever feel that way yourself? Then this workshop is for YOU!
I don’t, by the way, always get 5* reviews. You can’t please everyone. But those same titles do snag far more 5* reviews than the irritating 3* or even 1*. Actually, I don’t understand why anyone even bothers to write a review if they rated the story as so bad it merited a 1*.
What we’ll do in this workshop is look at what reviewers note in those 5*, 4*, 3*, 2*, and 1* reviews. When it’s something bad or sad, we’ll figure out how in the next book you write, you’ll keep that in mind and up your own ante in the review market.
We’ll be tearing a lot of books apart. Those from writers who get those glowing reviews and our own stories as well.
Along the way, you’ll begin telling much better stories (I hope!), the kind that so sweep readers away that they award a 5* review. It won’t be an easy climb, but it’s a doable one!
Join me for a new look at your own work!
