Michael, yes, a good reviewer will identify and call out a book’s flaws. Does this mean that you DIDN’T have it professionally edited before publication?

My book The Year Winter Came Late has been self published’ve and I had positive reviews on US Review and Goodreads. I’ve also have had several offers by indie publishers to publish my book. A few tradition publishers like Pegasus, MacMillan, and Harper Collins expressed interest but wanted me have the book professionally edited. I was wondering if a Kirkus Review would reveal editorial flaws in my book and would it be worth the cost of Kirkus Review to up the sale of my book? Also, I was told by someone from Amazon the reason why my book lacks sales is lack of advertising. Would a Kirkus Review help im that regard?

What did the $375 get you?

Congratulations, Tanja.

It’s a one-step-at-the-time journey.

Andrea, I’d get disheartened if I were to look only at the distance covered with one step forward, but I always glance back to look at the path covered so far with thousands past steps and get the courage to push ahead with one step further.

Thank you so much, Sandra. It took me a few days to bring that part out as a ‘diamond in the rough’, and get past the rest of it. I really appreciate your support on this forum.

I’m sending best wishes for a great review, Massimo! Oh, to have a traditional publisher… I hope to get there one day, as well. 🙂

Cheers, Andrea

It’s a 5-star from Readers’ Favorite and the sequel is a Readers’ Favorite Award winner.

Let’s see what kind of review we will get as a trad pubbed novel.
