Why Blogger Reviews Create Clout for Authors

Alert for all authors … Have you missed the blogger boat? Are you getting your books in the hands of a bloggers? If you aren’t, it’s time to do a re-think and then a DO. Start with questions … 

• What is your genre … your audience?
• Are there bloggers who write reviews on your genre?

If you are willing to do a Google search and do a search for: bloggers who blog about _________, you may come up with many opportunities to get your book into the hands of bloggers who like your genre.

I wrote new book out this winter—one that friends and clients who knew that I like to cook kept after me to create and publish. The book birth became Cooking with Judith happened and is available on Amazon.

Then a magic email arrived from blogger Rox Burkey. She had done reviews of another book of mine and said she was going to review my newest … exciting!

Reviews count. Are you reaching out to those who blog about books? I suggest you make it a goal to seek out bloggers and submit your books … it may just be the tipping point for your book … and you as an author.

Thank you Rox! Rox’s review website is HERE. https://roxburkey.com/category/book-review/

Every page is delicious — Review by Rox Burkey

  Dr. Judith Briles, renowned for her public speaking abilities, support of authors through The Book Shepherd organization, and multiple self-help books is the fantastic co-author of the Harmonie Book Series, an award-winning fantasy historical fiction. Now she delivers a MUST-HAVE cookbook!

Judith hosts multiple annual events, many of which occur in her home. She provides the perfect atmosphere to complement mouth-watering meals, from delicious appetizers to heavenly desserts. Guests never go away hungry but often tuck leftovers in modest containers on their way out the door. The easy-to-follow instructions support the 50+ recipes between the covers of ‘Cooking with Judith.

Newer cooks will love the tips and tricks for simplifying cooking, while the more experienced will pick up new ideas. The Mardi Gras Salad is refreshing to the palate and eye-appealing. Who doesn’t love a perfect Mac and Cheese at every age? I’ve fixed the Chocolate Zucchini Cake on more than one occasion to rave reviews, but I believe Judith’s Kahlua Cake is even better.

Everyone will find one or more of these a delicious addition to a family picnic, holiday meal, or romantic evening at home. The aromatic, tempting smells of meal preparation will waft through the house, and even the most novice cook will get rave reviews from guests who serve these delicious dishes. Don’t wait a minute long to grab your copy. It’s also the perfect gift for graduates, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.  Dr. Judith Briles-Author
