August is “Write A #BookReview on Amazon Month”
Readers from all over the world are being inspired to post reviews for books they’ve read on Amazon.
In a Bold attempt to increase reader awareness of the importance of book reviews to all authors, Terry Tyler is leading the campaign to get more people posting those all important reviews on Amazon.
Authors: #AugustReviews is about readers posting a review of a book to Amazon, we would also like to encourage them to share the Amazon Review Post Url on Twitter. An author can take part as a reader, but please don’t use this to promo your own books.
Book Bloggers: We really appreciate your support and know you are likely to already post reviews on Amazon, please keep the Hashtag for Twitter with a link to your Amazon review url only, not your blog post. We don’t want to put off readers who think they need to be a blogger to take part.
We are asking readers to Tweet the url of the book review using #AugustReviews and we will help share and mention you in the August Reviews Hall of Fame.
If you’ve been away for a few weeks and are just catching up here are links to recent Halls Of Fame

I’m planning a lot of book reviews later this month and think this is a brilliant idea about sharing. Alas I haven’t really set up my twitter so won’t be able to use the hashtag…only posting a few on my blog. Interesting what you say about non-bloggers thinking they have to be a blogger to read posts – my friends initially thought the same when I told them of my blog. Obviously a widespread misconception.

Thanks Annika, I think it holds a lot of people back and others just don’t think about the need to write a review at all.

Annika, can you send the Amazon links to Rosie if you have rosie’s email, please? Then perhaps Rosie could forward it to me! (Is that okay, Rosie?).
Sorry, I tend to presume all bloggers do Twitter, which is wrong of me!

Good idea, you can send them via the contact form above if it helps.

Thank you Terry & Rosie, that’s a great idea and I’ll use the contact form. I know, I probably should be on much more social media but my fear is then not get anything else done at all! 😀
