Member Support
We are writers, we few hundred. While our avocation is publishing and marketing our work, our passion is our writing. We support each other. We help each other get started. Therefore, members should support each other by writing a brief review about the book and why somebody might OR should BUY the book on as many review channels as possible such as Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter and more. For Amazon, in order to post a book review, be sure to state that you received a review copy if you did not purchase a copy or Amazon will remove the review as a non-verified purchase.
