Thank you Marie – I couldn’t agree more! I think this is why there have always been literary societies and for that matter cafes! Writers need a sense of community.

I really love your article and its ideas. I have always been about paying forward and being a cheering squad (and of course I love being cheered on myself) so this is perfect. These days even writers seem to be struggling at keeping focus, maintaining the writing routine, pondering if what they are writing is even worthy in these befuddling times. Sometimes just having someone listen and share is enough to kickstart the creative and active engine.
Kudos, good on you and THANK you.
Marie

If a reader acknowledges that they received an advance review copy of a book in exchange for an honest review, then they are within Amazon’s acceptable guidelines and there is usually no problem.
