Most writers if you ask, would probably admit that they love nothing better than to get good reviews on their books. However, as we all know, no matter how good a writer you think you are, you won’t please everyone. A book can be a five star for one reader and a one star for another.

Even though we love getting reviews, often no review is better than bad reviews. Some readers will not hesitate to tear your work apart so always be prepared for this and don’t take it too personal. Look to see if there is anything valid about the critique and if so, how you can improve your writing. Remember, writing is an art that gets better with practice.
