One of the things I learned as I was reading and reviewing stories last month is how important these reviews are to the writer.  Having people write to me and tell me how much they liked my review, how much they appreciated it made me feel good.  How much more would it affect a writer to hear you say how much you liked his book? 

Indie and small press writers don't get as many opportunities for reviews as writers in the big publishing houses and they should get more.  The writers I've met since working at Inknbeans are a lot closer to the readers, and the contact, the conversation and the encouragement should flow easier in their direction.  Think about it. When you work hard at something, even if it doesn't turn out one hundred percent perfect, it still feels good to hear someone say they like it.  I know there are people who enjoy a book and really intend to write a review or even a positive comment, but they get busy and forget. It's never too late to say something nice to someone. 

Make it your goal today to tell someone you liked their book.  Anyone.  It doesn't have to be one of our writers.  If you've read a book in the last year and have been meaning to say something nice, do it today.  Leave a review at the place you bought it.  Leave a comment on the author's blog.  Come tell us.  We'll post it.  If you liked one of our books, write to the author:

Emjae Edwards  [email protected]
Michael E. Benson [email protected]
Steven Revare  [email protected]

And then go read another book.
