Insecure Writers Support Group: Who Do You Review For?

Thank you to Alex Cavanaugh for creating this awesome group. Join us here. It’s great to cohost today along with are C. Lee McKenzie, JQ Rose, and Jacqui Murray!

I’m excited that I started writing my next novel! It’s a sport psychology story with a tentative title of Low Water. My progress is slow, partly because I’ve been traveling to Ohio to help my aging parents, but it feels good to write again.

December 6 question: Book reviews are for the readers. When you leave a book reviews do you review for the Reader or the Author? Is it about what you liked and enjoyed about your reading experience, or do you critique the author?

It depends. If I’m reading a book that is published by a Big Five publisher, I tend to review more for the reader. If the book is published by an indie author (who I may know), I tend to leave a review more for the author. I like to function at Goodreads in both capacities (as reader and author).

Happy writing to all!
