Plus Hint Number Seventeen for Getting Them
Carolyn offers some hints for helping potential reviewers say yes to you when they already feel stressed to the max. Here are two of them:
* Suggest your prospective reviewer include their expertise in the review. Example: "I am a chiropractor and found lots of new ideas for marketing my business, without seeming unprofessional, in this book."
* Suggest your reader write a review between 100-450 words. This one bit of information can make them look more professional and they'll be grateful for that."

Lois W. Stern's Tales2Inspire® was a kernel of an idea she started in 2012 that has grown to proportions even she didn’t dare to envision. Her innate curiosity about potentially fascinating human interest stories was the spark that ignited this idea. But it was the confused state of traditional publishing that propelled her forward.
Tales2Inspire® delivers exactly what it promises as both an ‘Authors Helping Authors’ project and a contest. Winners get their stories published in print, e-book and some even in video formats, with their names, headshot photos, and mini-autobiographies included. Then she spreads the word about the winners and their stories on her blogs, social media and monthly newsletter. FREE to enter, this is a great competition for talented newbies and seasoned authors alike. Want to be wowed?
