Paying a book reading pool to get beta reports is worth the investment, but obtaining an organic book review isn’t easy, especially if you’re an unknown author. If you published on Amazon it’s even harder, because Amazon has this (silly and counterproductive) rule that friends and family are not permitted to leave reviews. Why it […]
Last year I started a new website which was focused on how to heal from burnout. I described parts of my road to recovery and included tips and advice that were based on my personal experience, since I went through burnout from 2016 to 2018, but in all honesty, it could have started in 2015 […]
