Yesterday I posted about red flags book reviewers may encounter that would warn them away from working with an author. Well, that’s only one side of this relationship.
Red Flags for Authors
Red Flags for Reviewers
I’ve been thinking of writing a duology of blog posts for a while now, one where I talk about the red flags associated with the reviewer/author relationship.
2022 Book Review: Little White Lies
Little White Lies Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes YA Mystery/Thriller, 2018 from Little Brown, 390 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Sawyer’s mother.
