Hi Andrew! For more detailed information on book reviews, type "book reviews" into the search pane within the ALC. Tons of detailed info on this topic. For starters though, start asking people who buy your book to write a review after they are done and post to Amazon and other book sites. Start small and work up.

I understand that good reviews help an author get to the top of the pile. But how does an author get to the reviews and the reviewers? Who are the reviewers radio, TV, social media?
