🤔I know I know the answer to this... but I want to ask it again to be sure I don't do something wrong and have the wrath of KDP come down on me ... I am allowed to gift a pdf copy of my book to someone and ask them to give me a review, aren't I? So long as it's not friends, family, paid or otherwise contrived? I have a (probably very stale) community I am considering gifting one of my books to... Thank you for any guidance... xo

Does anyone use BookBolt anymore? I've been dabbling with it... but with so many app subscriptions to choose from, I need to rationalise! Just wondering what others' thoughts on this one are...?

A lot of the real growth comes after release: how we show up, how we connect with readers, and how consistently we share our journey, not just our books. I used to think writing the book was the hardest part, but building visibility and relationships has been just as important. What’s one thing you wish you had known earlier about being an author?
