5-Star

Monday afternoon I received an email that a review for First had been posted on the Reader’s Favorite website. I entered their annual contest in mid-November, and the entry fee includes a posted review. I was very pleased to receive a 5-star review! I added the link to the main page of this site along with the 5-star seal they provide. Today I’ll socialize it in the usual places to share the good news.

On the same day another email notified me that First has been picked up for review on Reedsy Discovery. That’s excellent news since I’d submitted to them back in August, hoping for a review by the book’s release date. Instead, First seemed to languish in their queue. If no reviewers pick it up, then the review period expires. I think it was renewed at no extra cost a couple of times. Somewhere in the last 1-2 months I added the first chapter to the profile so potential reviewers could get a taste for the book. No idea if that’s what finally made the difference, but happy to have another review on the way.
