Tee Shirts for Authors & Readers

Category: Uncategorised

teeLike a lot of authors, I work at home and my uniform is a tee and sweat shorts/sweatpants. I was sick of my usual collection and bought some new designs from TeePublic.

I LOVE the quality of their tri-blend tees! I ordered a size larger than I needed, they didn't really shrink much at all so they ended up perfect, and they have some shape so I don't look like a square blob all the time. 

I highly recommend!

They have a ton of other styles, as well as mugs, pillows, phone cases and things like that.

I made a store featuring a bunch of the coolest author and reading tees here:

SHOP FOR FUN TEES

Swing on by and get yourself or someone else some cool tee shirts to freshen your writing or reading wardrobe!

P.I. Dev Haskell is minding his own business, looking out the window, when a pink Mercedes convertible pulls to the curb.

Now, she’s back in town and needs Dev’s help. Apparently her extensive Barbie collection is missing, along with Arnold Wazinski, AKA Ken Carson, Barbie Doll’s significant other…

Beta Readers
Beta readers represent your future audience and can tell you about problems they had enjoying or understanding your story before you take your book to market and have scores of people tell you about these problems by way of bad reviews. 

 

I started the site because it's hard to get return on investment from most of the marketing sites out there and there are too many people trying to rip us off. The whole idea was to help authors like myself, so I'm always trying to come up with new ideas for all of us.


I'm always available for any questions you might have - Thank you!

- by Keyla Damaer - Science Fiction

War, deceit, and love intertwine in the first six Tales From The Sehnsucht Series.

Within this anthology, you'll find six tales of love and hate, loyalty and treason, failure and triumph; science fiction and fantasy, the dramatic and the lighthearted from alien soldiers, desperate teachers, strange bedfellows, and more. And in the background a war of all against all. Who will survive?

Open this collection and take your first steps into the history of the Manderian people. Meet Ameela's improbable lover. Escape from tyranny with Rotima. Find the man who tempered with Ryma's DNA.

TYPO KILLER

Details
Category: Uncategorised

It seems no matter how many editors we run my books through, there are always a few typos that sneak through.  This is no reflection on our editors --- just proof of how impossible it is to get a book perfect.

I love it when readers send me emails letting me know they spotted a typo so I can fix it. If you do too, I have a great new service for you!

I asked my Beta Readers -- my elite eschelon of AXP reader members -- if they'd be interested in free books in order to search for typos, and nearly 300 across all genres responded with an enthusiastic YES!

I'm going to be incentivizing these readers with prizes and you reap the rewards! Clean up your books until they're pristine and meet my best readers in the process --- real gems.

DETAILS

  • You'll get as many eyeballs as sign up to read your book --- could be a couple, could be a LOT more. Beta requests, for example, generally get between seven and thirty readers.
  • The typo killers will talk to you directly and report typos directly to you. You can ask them to do this in anyway you see fit. New manuscript? You can send them a WORD doc. Old book? You can ask them to read a MOBI and jot down their findings. Whatever works best for the both of you.
  • GET BONUS REVIEWS! Once they read the book, why wouldn't they review? Just ask them! Note: They are not required to review and the prizes they qualify for as a Typo Killers have no bearing on reviewing. They are not being incentivized to review. Once you know them as readers though, there's no harm in asking.
  • Because these are my best people, they're wonderful readers to have relationships with. They could end up on your street teams, become regular reviewers for you, become fans!

Like Editing? Is Grammar Your Game?

Fact is, no matter how many editors we authors run our books through, there are always a few typos that sneak through.  We could use your help to find them!

AND as a bonus, you’ll be entered in a monthly drawing to win Amazon gift cards! ONE ENTRY FOR EACH BOOK YOU FINISH. You’ll mark the book finished and report your findings.

Just sign up to be added to our list of Typo Killers and we'll let you know when we have books ready!

 

Harlem's Ross Agency Mysteries

Details
Category: Uncategorised

I've been enchanted with books from my earliest days and writing stories since second grade. My writing took a turn from animal lore when I discovered Sherlock Holmes in seventh grade. Many fine practitioners of detective and other fiction influenced me over the years. Perhaps the biggest single influence was my long-standing love affair with newspapers. I worked for professional papers in Chicago since my late teen years. Pursuing a doctorate in African history and a career in the United States Foreign Service reinforced my interest in people, places, and writing. To date, I've published over sixty fan fiction stories since 2012. You can learn more in this interview HERE.

Readers often ask me what sparks the ideas for my mystery fiction. The origins of the Ross Agency lie in a question I asked myself: who helps the little guy? In answer, I created this mystery series. The Ross Agency provides fix-it services to people in their hard-scrabble neighborhood. The three private investigators look into puzzles, losses, disputes, and tensions that fall below the radar of the police. Each book in the series focuses on solving a murder (or two) while delving further into the tangle of relationships that bind the detectives, their friends, and neighbors. Bringing murderers to justice is the driver of each story. But the ultimate puzzle in this series is unwrapping the mystery of private eye SJ Rook himself. To learn more about the Ross Agency, check out this interview I conducted with Rook.

I enjoy hearing from readers. Visit my web site, "Neighborhood Noir,' at www.deliapitts.com. Follow me on Instagram at deliapitts50.

Right now I am working on a fourth novel called Pauper and Prince in Harlem. To give you a special preview of this new story, I've included the first chapter at the end of eBook and print versions of Black and Blue in Harlem. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek at the story I'm working on right now.

You can see the whole series here!

After two heartbreaking losses, Luna wants adventure. Something and somewhere very different from the affluent, sheltered home in California and Hawaii where she grew up. An adventure in which she can also make some difference.

Lucien, a worldly, well-traveled young architect, finds a stranger's journal at a café. Though he has qualms and pangs of guilt about reading it, they don't stop him. His decision changes his life forever.

Months later, they meet at a bookstore. Fascinated by his stories and adventurous spirit, Luna goes on a Peace Corps stint to a rural rice-growing village in Cambodia. There, she finds a world steeped in ancient culture and the lasting ravages of a deadly history. Will she leave this world unscathed?

An epistolary tale of courage, resilience, and the bonds that bring diverse people together.

Romani-Jew, Mikhail Abramovich has known hardship. He escaped a Nazi camp, became a Resistance soldier, and the love of his life died in his arms. Yet, when Natalya miraculously returns to life; he is plunged into a world that is no longer black and white. 

Is the hunt for Hitler and immortality worth giving up everything they have ever known and loved?

Dragon's Flight

Dragon's FlightAuthor: N. A. Fulton 

"I and my 2,883 sisters, brothers, and half-siblings are heirs to some of the richest families in the world. We are also genetically engineered freaks..." — Allison Kemp, Foundation Heir

Allison faces the challenge of a lifetime when she and those she loves are targeted by RealHuman, a cult determined to protect the human race from the rise of a genetically engineered species.

In this, the first book of the Fortunate Monsters saga, the war for our planet begins. If you loved The Hunger Games and Twilight, you will love Dragon's Flight.

"You all know the story. We have been front-page news on and off for more than a decade. Every time one of us hangs ourselves, ends up in jail, or starts college at fourteen, it all gets dredged up again. But this is the year when I have finally been told all the facts and I have seen all the evidence for myself. I will tell you what I know to be true..."

Time Travel By Design Series

Time Travel By Design SeriesAuthor: Bella Street 

ROMANCE GOES RETRO:

Nashvillians Olivia Haugen and Kyle Daniels know exactly why they'd never get together. He's too staid and persnickety and she's too flighty and artsy. But that doesn't stop Constance Presley from trying. She owns a salvage warehouse that not only hold antiques from several eras, but a portal to other time periods as well. From Detroit to Scotland, Constance is determined to get these two together...whether they like it or not!

Mid-Century Mayhem:

Modern-day Nashville and 1950s Detroit clash worse than an IKEA futon and a plaid Barcalounger when a free-spirited interior designer and a strait-laced automotive engineer find themselves in another time. Olivia Haugen and Kyle Daniels have no idea why they've ended up in 1954 Michigan, but it's probably not because of all the swank mid-century furnishings. Discovering the reason might have something to do with a wily salvage warehouse owner and her not-so-little shop of secrets.

Gothic Revival:

Olivia Haugen and Kyle Daniels are barely on speaking terms in modern-day Nashvillenot helped by Kyles cranky aunt Constance whose apparent sole purpose in life is to see them walk down the aisle. Olivia and Kyle end up taking a trip down an aisle all right, the one to the magic portal in Constances salvage warehouse. They end up in the dark and humid backyard of a place where Gothic secrets are as thick as the Spanish moss draping the live oaks, and bumps in the night give birth to long-dormant nightmares.

Regency Requiem:

When a search for family answers goes totally awry, Olivia Haugen and Kyle Daniels are left with more questions than answers about their past...their future...and whether or not Constance was ever actually related to Elvis Presley.

We've always followed privacy laws and will continue to in the future.

We inform readers that their emails will be shared with the authors participating in giveaways. We remove readers information from our databases upon request. We give readers the opportunity to remove themselves from collected lists before these lists are shared with authors. We maintain electronic records of subscribers consent to join email lists, should an author ever be required to produce it.

Read and Review FAQ

Category: Uncategorised

SIGN UP!

 

In short, AXP is a "dating service" between readers and authors. These are real people, not employees. I can't force them to do anything. These are not paid reviewers (that would be against Amazon TOS). 

Important things to know/RULES:

After Signing Up You Must Add Your Book to the AuthorsXP Library!

  • Login to AuthorsXP  https://authorsxp.com/login
  • Click on "Add My Books to the AXP Library" in the USER MENU that appears after logging in.  https://authorsxp.com/add-my-book/add
  • Fill out the form to add your book. It will be approved and added to the permanent book database.
  • If your book is already in there, you don't have to add it again
  • ADD A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET YOUR BOOK FOR FREE

There are now fields (at the bottom of your library listing form mentioned above) in your book description for you to add Bookfunnel links or upload files. These files will show up directly in the reader's dashboard so you don't have to try so hard to email them the book or the links only to have them go to their spam.  

Elite Reader Dashboard

In the USER MENU area, you also have a dashboard where you can login and see who has requested your book, who has reviewed (including any comments they might have left) and remind readers to please read your book by clicking a button. 

 https://authorsxp.com/sadmin/eliteauthor_dashboard.php

 

YOUR 'TO DO' LIST

1. Add your book to the AXP Library so I can activate it for reviewer. https://authorsxp.com/add-my-book/add

2. In the library, add a file(s) or link(s) for readers to get your book for free.

3. When you receive notice of a request, you can respond to them any way you like. They will be sent a link to their dashboard to download your book though, so you don't have to send them the file. 

4. You can trigger a "did you get my book?" mailing from your ELITE REVIEWER DASHBOARD if you think your emails aren't getting through. https://authorsxp.com/sadmin/eliteauthor_dashboard.php 


FAQ

There is no guarantee reviews received will be good. These are honest reviews by real people. But since you can talk to the reviewers directly, you can politely request that if they don't like your book, please don't review.

Readers should understand they must note on their review that they received a free copy. (Per FTC/Amazon rules) I've told them but be sure to remind them.

While you can ask if a reader is in the Amazon KU program and if they'd be willing to read the book through that, authors may NOT require or ask reviewers to BUY their book. Sales are not the point of this program. Readers DO report such actions to me and authors will be removed from the program for this. 

Any book is eligible, though AXP reserves the right to refuse a book.

If you don't receive at least 8 reviews through the Elite Readers, we'll run your book again and get you more reviewers. If for some reason you still aren't having any luck you'll be refunded for the missing reviews. This rarely happens but some books are tougher than others!

You can delete the book from where you uploaded it for readers at any time, but DO let me know you did it so I can remove you from the list of books available to request.

Books generally get between 15-100 requests the first time they are posted. (depending on genre) But a request isn't a download - so you need to leave it available because it might be a while before people get a chance to download it and read it. If you only get like 20 requests, I might send out another notice, because it takes about 30-40 requests to end up with the minimum 8 reviews. (Real people aren't always the most reliable people! :) )




TIPS FOR INTERACTING WITH READERS

DO NOT ASK THEM TO BUY THE BOOK. Sales are NOT the point of the review program and this will anger the readers who signed up for a free book.

Make an email template for sending to readers and save yourself some time!

If people haven't posted after two weeks, feel free to poke at them.


I'M NOT GETTING REVIEWS, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

1. If you log into the site and then go to USER MENU you'll see a link for Elite Reader Dashboard where you can see your chart of requestors. You can hit a button there to remind people you haven't heard from them. This email is then sent from my system instead of your email, so there's a better chance it will get through spam filters. If that doesn't raise the dead, let me know and I'll send them a note from my personal email asking them what's up, did they get the book, are they almost done, etc.

2. These are real people and not employees and each person has his/her way of doing things. (I wish I could have paid review employees but we'd be breaking Amazon rules). So between people's schedules and spam filters, there are a lot of reasons your results could be delayed. Do stay in touch with readers but don't hound them.

3. The elite readers you see on your dashboard with "NO" for released means that person has too many books outstanding. You can send your book to them if you want, but I give ELITE readers FIVE book requests before I cut them off. To continue, they have to review the ones they have. So this person might have just fallen behind or they might be a bad bet for getting a review.... If you want, you can send them an email and let them know something like:

"I see you requested my book for review through the AuthorsXP Elite Reader's group, but the release status is set to "NO" because you have too many books outstanding for reviews. You can have more books released to you (including mine) by reviewing your outstanding books and marking them reviewed in your Elite Reader Dashboard located here: http://AXPBooks.com --- if the books you have outstanding are not books you want to read to review, you can mark them "not reviewing" and that will free your queue as well!"

WHAT ABOUT AMAZON?

Amazons Review Guidelines (10/3/16) state 

Book authors and publishers may continue to provide free or discounted copies of their books to readers, as long as the author or publisher does not require a review in exchange or attempt to influence the review. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=14279631  That means you can still give away free copies in the HOPES of getting reviews, but you can't give away free copies "in exchange for review."

Additional Perks

  1. You'll get a permanent spot in our book database and a temporary advertisement on our site
  2. You expose your books to more readers and possibly get more reviews and fans
  3. Great for getting "minimum reviews" required by promotion sites for new books

SERIES EVENT

Details
Category: Uncategorised

Please fill out the below form. This is how I will be able to get you the MOST out of this event, so PLEASE fill it out carefully!

  • GENRES: Click genres that fit your series... IMPORTANT! DON'T SEE YOUR GENRE? PLEASE TELL ME! This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  These are the genres entrants will click to show their preferences, too.
  • LINKS: Enter the links where people can buy your book/series. Use the link to the FIRST book in your series for any of the retailers OR for the Amazon link please use the link to your SERIES PAGE if you have one.
  • SPECIAL: Write the short sentence you'd like me to use when I send my special newsletter to entrants at the end of the event. For instance, if you were John Steinbeck:  "Get a FREE copy of Grapes of Wrath!"  Special must be available AT LEAST on April 10 - which is when that email will go out.
  • SPECIAL LINK - Paste the link where people should go to GET that special (if it is a newsletter sign up for a free book, or a link to your first book on Amazon which is free, etc.)
  • If you don't want to offer any sort of additional special for that after-event mailing, leave it blank and I'll just send the link to your series. 
  • SERIES DESCRIPTION: If you'd like to include a short punchy series description to grab people's attention, please enter it here. Try to stick to 1-2 sentences.

I'll pull graphics from Amazon and have you something to see soon! Thank you for entering and let's all promote HARD to make this a HUGE SUCCESS for all of us!

Confused about this "Special?" As a bonus I'm sending out a special newsletter to all the entrants -- a sort of guide to all the series so they can keep it and hopefully go buy (because it is impossible to forcefeed them all that info during their entry).  The ability for the author to add a special incentive to this newsletter is a bonus. You can do it or not. It isn't part of the usual event process (you only giveaway 3 books to the winners officially) - this is just a way to extra nudge people into visiting your series.

There is also the book fair where you can offer a book special (free or 99c) available ALL week that entrants will see after entering).

Author Websites & Newsletter Solutions

Category: Uncategorised

Need an author website? Need to seriously update the one you have?

Don't struggle with some awful "do it yourself" web site template. Your time is worth MORE than that! 

Amy Vansant (me, the owner of this site) is not only an author and a marketer whose been helping to sell her own books and yours, but I've also owned a web development firm for over 20 years. (http://VansantCreations.com) 

Pros of Having Me Do Your Website

  • I'm a fellow author, so I know what you need.
  • I've been doing this forever so I know what I'm doing --- what works and what doesn't
  • I'm not free like some do-it-yourself sites, but I also won't give you an infuriating website that doesn't do half the things you wish it did and looks terrible.
  • I'm lovely with which to work. :)
  • You can add tons of features, including your own newsletter email collection/emailing system (break away from MailChimp!), photo galleries, online ordering, domain emails (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and more.

Sites are all content management-based, which means you can make the updates yourself going forward if you like, or you can ask me to do it - whatever works with your time and budget.

Sites for authors usually range from $1000-$1500 depending on the size and features you want.

 

Having MailChimp Woes? Need to Refine How You Send Your Newslsetters?

Tired of paying every time you mail? Tired of not being able to import reader lists you've gathered through promotions? Tired of the restrictions imposed by MailChimp and other third party mailing systems? YOU can control your own email.

In addition to building your site, I can install mailing solutions that will:

  • collect emails from visitors
  • allow you to send newsletters without restrictions
  • design custom newsletter templates

Being in control of your own emailing system gives you the flexibility to grow without restrictions.

Street Team - Get Started!

Details
Category: Uncategorised

Send me: (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

  • Name of Team - Your series or YOUR name - I recommend naming them after YOU if your genres aren't wildly different. (Fewer teams, less work!)
  • The GENRE team members should like reading
  • Description of Series (written as if you're trying to let people know what to expect and get them excited about it)
  • Link to where you'd like me to send team members (Facebook or a sign up form (If you'd like me to setup a signup form, let me know!)

How to setup your FB Group: (or send me your personal FB login)

1. Log into your personal FB account.



BOOM! You have a street team group!

Copy the URL of your street team - you'll need it to send to people so they can go and join.



Going forward, send everyone that you know reads and likes your books to this FB Group so you can keep them organized and alert them of news easily!

Add a shortcut so YOU can find your group.

Go to your personal FB home and hover over "Shortcuts." When you do, "EDIT" should appear. Click that and "PIN TO TOP" your new group in the box that pops up. That way you'll have a shortcut link to your group going forward so YOU can find it!

Add a graphic to your group header. (I can make this for you.) Example:



INTERACT WITH YOUR GROUP

Next step is to keep your group happy by interacting with them a little at first...

IMPORTANT TIP!

I'll give you the most valuable advice: You don't have to do much.  When I first started my street team I KILLED myself trying to make it fun for them and it was taking time out of my writing/living. So I stopped doing anything except posting new releases and asking for reviews. They're FINE with that. That's all they really want. I have about 150 people in my street team and know with every release I'll get about 30 reviews in the first week, which is fine - after that organic readers take over.

Basically, you just keep accepting people until you finally have enough people who are a good group!

I'll occasionally send them a link to a free book by another author in my genre if I happen to see one. Just for a little perk here and there.

IMPORTANT TIP! #2

When I have a new release, I post to my Street Team group that it is available and to EMAIL ME if they want it. That way there isn't a link to my free book floating around on Facebook AND I can start an email list of my dedicated readers. Then if I need anything, I can just email that group if I don't want to tell everyone in the group about it. It's a great way to identify great fans!

If you do want to play with them a little in the beginning to warm them up to you, here are some ideas:

  1. Run a poll and let them choose their name 



  2. Offer the books for free to members to get them all on the same page
  3. Ask them what they'd like to see more/less of in your series.
  4. Tell them how you came up with ideas
  5. Cover reveals
  6. Request reviews
  7. Ask them to share promotions on social media
  8. Ask them to post where they're from
  9. Run spot giveaways for gift cards
  10. Share photos of your writing space
  11. Share pet photos or other photos you know your audience would like
  12. Share memes and jokes in the vein of your series

Street Team Survey

Category: Uncategorised

Is it time to build a real "street team" for your books and YOU?

As usual, new things on AXP come from me realizing I need something.

I decided to become an overnight phenomenon *cough.* :)

And by "overnight phenomenon" I mean I'm thinking long term. Overnight phenomenons are rarely overnight - it comes from building a strong base (Like the mailing list builders that have been doing so well) and then weaponizing that base to spread the word. < --- Hopefully about my books and not about how I mix metaphors.

So, I'm building a street team for my Pineapple Port series. I asked the AXP readers if they'd be interested in joining (so far, just people from my Elite Reader group and then my own list on my website.) Looking really good so far...

Here's my AXP Steet Team Request Page so you can see what I mean...

My question for you is:

  1. Would you like assistance building a street team like this? (if yes, fill out the blue form on this page and answer these questions) 

  2. Would you want help finding members?

  3. Would you like help setting up a street team Facebook page to get things rolling, including header graphics, etc.?

  4. Would you like a service where AXP provides ideas on a regular basis for street team missions and fun events that you can share with your team to keep them enamored with you? 

Let me know so I can figure out if there is a need. Also, let me know if you have other ideas and wants in the comments (and any questions).

Thanks!

Predominantly Christian historical romances

Tender romance stories with themes of hope, faith, forgiveness, redemption, and plentiful humor, the Wyoming Sunrise Series takes readers back in time to the 1800s for a heartwarming journey back in time.

The blurb for Dreams of the Heart, Book #2 in the series is as follows:

Sometimes the hardest battles take place in the heart.

Poverty and abuse at the hands of her drunkard father leaves Hannah Boone trapped and alone. Without hope, she prays for a miracle just on the off-chance God will hear her. Will the handsome new deputy, who seems to be watching her every move, be Hannah’s one chance to escape the only life she’s ever known?

For as long as he can remember, John Mark Eliason has wanted to be a deputy sheriff. When a job opens in the nearby town of Poplar Springs, he eagerly accepts, but finds his greatest mission won’t be tracking down criminals and bringing justice to the ruthless Wyoming town, but saving a beautiful young woman he barely knows.

Will an unexpected answer to a difficult situation show how love can endure—and even thrive—in an unconventional situation? Or will fear and uncertainty keep two hesitant hearts apart?

In the sequel to Forgotten Memories, author Penny Zeller brings a tender tale of faith, romance, and humor in a memorable story that reminds us God hears every prayer and has a plan for every life.

Apply for the Peacetaker Series Street Team!

Author Edita Petrick is looking to create a STREET TEAM for her ongoing "Peacetaker" Series.

What is Peacetaker?

  • The Peacetaker series is an action/adventure thriller with fantasy-paranormal elements, history, mythology and legends
  • Clean, suitable for teen-and-up. There is a suggestion of some violence, though not overly descriptive.

These books would appeal to any reader who loves mystery and adventure with a touch of supernatural elements. Each story is intelligently knitted, with twists and turns that keep the reader hooked since the very beginning. The two lead characters start off as total strangers. Carter, is a hard-shelled, lone ranger type; a Justice Department contractor with a painful past. Dr. Stella Hunter is a quirky, conflicted academic and published expert in mythology and ancient legends. The pairing of this unlikely duo makes for interesting and entertaining reading.

However, out of necessity their bond and slight romantic connection becomes something deeper as the series progresses.

Each book of the series is a standalone, but there is always an underlying ‘peace-taker’ issue driving some parts of the story.

You can see the whole series on Amazon.

or visit Edita's Website

Here's a quick description of book one: Ribbons of Death

A career soldier who survived a deadly riot in Cairo, and a reclusive mythology expert from Montana, race against time to find the product of legends that’s cutting a bloody path across the continent.
***
One snowy evening, a stranger with a horribly scarred face stomps on the porch of Stella Hunter’s house, holding her latest book of myths and legends. He points to the bloody fingerprints of the book’s now deceased owner, marking a passage of the Peacetaker myth. When she asks how he came by the book, he tells her he took the controversial book from the lifeless hand of a traffic fatality in Cairo. And suddenly, Stella could swear that somewhere a clock started ticking down to doomsday. After all, the fate of humanity depends on whether she was right or wrong when she wrote her infamous book.

Books:

  • Ribbons of Death – Book 1
  • The Harmony Scroll – Book 2
  • The Byzantine Connection – Book 3
  • Arachne’s Challenge – Book 4
  • Doomsday Hand – Book 5

Elite Reader Squad to Your Rescue!

How Can AXP's Elite Readers Help You?

  • You need reviews. AXP's readers are the best - In addition, you get a dashboard for keeping track AND AXP's help poking at slow responders. You'll get 15+ reviewers with 8 reviews guaranteed or we'll find you more readers or refund you for those who didn't come through.

ELITE READ & REVIEW FAQ

Review Process

In short, AXP is a "dating service" between readers and authors. These are real people, not employees. I can't force them to do anything. These are not paid reviewers. 

YOUR 'TO DO' LIST

1. Add your book to the AXP Library so I can activate it for reviewer. https://authorsxp.com/add-my-book/add


2. In the library, add a file(s) or link(s) for readers to get your book for free.

3. When you receive notice of a request, you can respond to them any way you like. They will be sent a link to their dashboard to download your book though, so you don't have to send them the file. 

4. You can trigger a "did you get my book?" mailing from your ELITE REVIEWER DASHBOARD if you think your emails aren't getting through. https://authorsxp.com/sadmin/eliteauthor_dashboard.php 


FAQ

There is no guarantee reviews received will be good. These are honest reviews by real people. But since you can talk to the reviewers directly, you can politely request that if they don't like your book, please don't review.

While you can ask if a reader is in the Amazon KU program and if they'd be willing to read the book through that, authors may NOT require or ask reviewers to BUY their book. DO NOT ASK THEM TO BUY THE BOOK. Sales are NOT the point of the review program and this will anger the readers who signed up for a free book. Readers DO report such actions to me and authors will be removed from the program for this. 

Any book is eligible, though AXP reserves the right to refuse a book.

If you don't receive at least 8 reviews through the Elite Readers, we'll run your book again and get you more reviewers. If for some reason you still aren't having any luck you'll be refunded for the missing reviews. This rarely happens but some books are tougher than others!


TIPS FOR INTERACTING WITH READERS

Make an email template for sending to readers and save yourself some time!

If people haven't posted after two weeks, feel free to poke at them.


I'M NOT GETTING REVIEWS, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

1. If you log into the site and then go to USER MENU you'll see a link for Elite Reader Dashboard where you can see your chart of requestors. You can hit a button there to remind people you haven't heard from them. This email is then sent from my system instead of your email, so there's a better chance it will get through spam filters. If that doesn't raise the dead, let me know and I'll send them a note from my personal email asking them what's up, did they get the book, are they almost done, etc.

2. These are real people and not employees and each person has his/her way of doing things. (I wish I could have paid review employees but we'd be breaking Amazon rules). So between people's schedules and spam filters, there are a lot of reasons your results could be delayed. Do stay in touch with readers but don't hound them.

3. The elite readers you see on your dashboard with "NO" for released means that person has too many books outstanding. You can send your book to them if you want, but I give ELITE readers FIVE book requests before I cut them off. To continue, they have to review the ones they have. So this person might have just fallen behind or they might be a bad bet for getting a review.... If you want, you can send them an email and let them know something like:

"I see you requested my book for review through the AuthorsXP Elite Reader's group, but the release status is set to "NO" because you have too many books outstanding for reviews. You can have more books released to you (including mine) by reviewing your outstanding books and marking them reviewed in your Elite Reader Dashboard located here: http://AXPBooks.com --- if the books you have outstanding are not books you want to read to review, you can mark them "not reviewing" and that will free your queue as well!"

WHAT ABOUT AMAZON?

Amazons Review Guidelines (10/3/16) state 

Book authors and publishers may continue to provide free or discounted copies of their books to readers, as long as the author or publisher does not require a review in exchange or attempt to influence the review. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=14279631  That means you can still give away free copies in the HOPES of getting reviews, but you can't give away free copies "in exchange for review.

Thank you - Super Reader!

I didn't like the books I got and now I don't get anymore.

When reviewers have five books "checked out" they no longer receive new books from new authors. To correct this, mark books you've reviewed in your Dashboard.  You can also mark books in the dashboard off as "NOT REVIEWING" this will close that book and clear slots for new books. You do NOT have to read or review a requested book if you hate it! 

An author asked me to buy his/her book and now I'm turned off on the whole thing.

My reviews are being pulled off Amazon.

Write Amazon and let them know you're not a spammer, just a reviewer! Sometimes their security systems mistake a real reader for someone trying to trick the system with fake reviews. I've heard sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and letting them know the issue works.
