⭐️ Mark Tierno, trilogy and epic immortal adventure author, is featuring in The Reading Room! ⭐️ Mark is a full-time writer with a Master's in Physics, the soul of a poet, and possessed of a unique descriptive voice. The result is an unrivalled talent for creating alien vistas, deeply woven plots, characters with distinctive personalities, and dynamic, realistic dialogue. Mark knows how to put emotions on paper, to draw the reader in and feel the highs and the lows, to cry tears of joy or sadness as if you are in the story yourself. He has built entire worlds, their cultures, everything planned down to the smallest detail; even the most fantastic of worlds are still consistent within their own laws, the better to make it seem as real as the Earth upon which we live. Yet all this is but a backdrop, the stage to set for incredible plots, and shape the story into something that will draw you in with the force of a black hole. 👉🏻 BECOME A MEMBER OF THE SKOOL BOOKSHOP FREE here now, join us LIVE for this awesome interview, see other author interviews, book reviews, be part of a progressive story, WIN a book and more!

Hey everyone, At Skool's one and only fantastic bookshop - The Skool Bookshop, we have author members who are looking for people to read their books for free, in exchange for honest feedback before launch, or a review once launched. 📚 This is so helpful for often shy authors who don't have the courage to ask for feedback or reviews, or don't have a big network around them to reach out to. It's also a fantastic opportunity for people who love reading books to read more of them, for free! 🎉 If you'd be interested, we would LOVE to welcome you in! You can join The Skool Bookshop free 👉 here 👈

As an author and publisher, I've been working with authors for 20 years, and I know most don't have a problem with writing their book; they have a problem marketing their book! Book reviews, especially, are an important piece of any successful author's marketing strategy, yet it's often the step most authors miss. From what I've seen, authors don't have a review problem. They have an asking problem. And it's such a shame! You've probably poured months - maybe years - into writing your book. You've polished the cover, agonised over the blurb, and set the launch date. Then the launch arrives, and...silence. No reviews, no sales. The Amazon algorithm passes your book over. Readers who almost clicked BUY scroll right past, because there's no social proof to anchor their decision. Many indie authors unfortunately learn the hard way: reviews don't appear because a book is good - they appear because the author asked, and made it easy for the reader. I have just finished writing a step-by-step playbook on how to 'Get Book Reviews Consistently', and it's GONE LIVE TODAY on Amazon, in eBook or Paperback, to help my fellow authors who struggle with getting book reviews. It is the Indie author's complete strategy for getting free reviews, paid reviews, and creating launch-day BUZZ! This step-by-step playbook gives you everything you need to get reviews - ethically, deliberately, and on a budget - from six months before launch through to your first year on sale. Inside the 62-page playbook, you'll learn how to: * Build an ARC team from scratch, even if you have zero email subscribers * Recruit pre-launch readers using ready-to-paste scripts for email, social, and DMs * Submit to the free trade publications that produce the most-quoted indie reviews * Choose the right paid review services (and avoid the ones that get accounts banned) * Save hundreds of dollars on review company fees * Ask for reviews without feeling awkward, pushy, or salesy * Stay on the right side of Amazon's review policy - what's safe, what's risky, what gets you delisted

There are so many reasons why people write books: 📚To share a story 📚Help others 📚Motivate or inspire others 📚Leverage lived experience and knowledge 📚Increase brand awareness and credibility 📚To use as a marketing hook in the media 📚Create a legacy 📚Entertain 📚Heal 📚Develop another income stream and so much more! I've helped people write all kinds of books over the years. From children's books, to cookbooks, romances, memoirs to business and 'how to' books and everything in between. Some write for themselves, some write to sell millions of copies, retire and live their dream life, and they have! ⭐️ Writing a book can change your life and the lives of others. I believe everyone has a story, or something someone can learn from or value. It's why I've been mentoring new authors for over 16 years. ⭐️ In Author Skool, I help mentors, thought-leaders, storytellers, business owners, and entrepreneurs write amazing books, self-publish and promote them. With 20 years of experience in all aspects of the book industry, from being a 10x bestselling author myself to book distributor, retailer, publisher and marketer, this is the space I help you write and self-publish your very own book in record time, the right way, avoiding the mistakes most authors make. I mentor each week in live sessions. Bring your ideas, and I'll help you transform them into a professional book asset that you will be proud of and have forever. ⭐️ This week in Author Skool, we'll be covering the 3 keys your reader will gain from your book. ⭐️ And you can start the 5-Day Challenge to begin writing straight away. I look forward to welcoming you inside and helping you bring your story to life! ⭐️ > Join here <
