It's a team of people who love my books and want to be involved.
Burrows Insiders get my monthly newsletter, Reading Rebels, and they get special Burrows Insider newsletters. The Insider newsletters tell them when my next book is coming out and how to get advance e-copies. They read the book before anyone else, before the launch date even, and add a star rating or review comments to the book pages on my site, on retail sites, or on a social media platform. They are also invited to share news about my book and appearances on Twitter, Facebooks, and other social media or in person events.
First, know that I'm not a "fast" writer. I put out one book every year or two. Sometimes I might put out a shorter work in-between books. I am not a book a month or even a book a quarter type of writer.
Second, I will offer images and taglines you can use but it's up to you. All I ask is that you add a star rating or review comments to at least one site. After that, it's as much or as little as you can or want to do.
Remember, five stars doesn't mean perfect. It means you liked it enough you want to read the next book.
Review comments can be brief. In your own words, say what you liked. If you didn't like something, mention that, too. I want honesty, not puff pieces. Write it like you're talking to a friend whose trying to decide whether to buy one of my books. Reviews also help tell the online book stores what kind of book it is so their algorithms and search engines can help readers like you find my books. And yes, that help me sell more books which helps me afford to be able to write and publish more books.
Yes, except for me to say thank you. I am honored that you are considering doing this. And I pledge that I will do my best to keep writing books that you not only like, but are excited to read.
