She first encourages authors to start garnering reviews early on in the process by identifying the audiences and communities they already have access to in their network. These can be people on your email list, followers on social media, members of professional organizations, work colleagues, or peers. When you acquire positive feedback and reviews early on, you can use them on your book sales pages, in social media posts, or in advertisements.<br /> <br />Breeden also recommends building an advance review copy (ARC) team. This can include twenty or more people you trust and enlist to read an early copy of your book and help build excitement for your book at launch. You will want to give them guidance on leaving reviews online as soon as the book goes on sale, sharing the book on social media, and providing quotes for advertising and promotions. All of this is cumulative and adds up over time, she says.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-10/HowtoTapintoAudiencesandCommunitiestoGetReviews.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../HowtoTapintoAudiencesandCommunitiestoGetReviews.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/marketing/book-reviews/w/others/8494/how-to-tap-into-audiences-and-communities-to-get-reviews/revision/2Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:59:19 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:0d20cbca-3b67-4603-8b32-41de175fab1fElizabeth Breedenhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/marketing/book-reviews/w/others/8494/how-to-tap-into-audiences-and-communities-to-get-reviews#commentsRevision 2 posted to Others by Elizabeth Breeden on 7/17/2026 11:59:19 AM<br /> <p><br />One of the most common questions Elizabeth Breeden gets from Simon Element&#39;s and Simon Acumen&#39;s author clients is, &quot;How do I get book reviews.&quot; She wants authors to know that reviews are much more attainable than they think.
