We’re sometimes asked how to go about placing a review for one of our books on Amazon. There are other guides out there, but we’ve tested the steps that follow.
- Write your review first. Amazon reviews don’t have to be long, but it is helpful if they are positive and reflect your honest assessment. If you have no idea how to express what you want to say, you can search reviews for other books you’ve enjoyed and make some notes about what those readers wrote that you can adapt for your review.
- You will also need a title for your review, so during your search, you can make note of what others have done that makes sense for you.
- Sign in to your Amazon account. If you don’t have an Amazon account (and you never will), skip ahead to step 9 below.
- Search for the book you want to review.
- Scroll down the page. On the left side you will find a button that says “Leave a customer review.”
- Click that button.
- In the next window, you will do three things: check the number of stars you want to give this book, paste the text of your pre-written review, and type in your title.
- Then click submit.Depending on how many things you’ve reviewed in the past, your review will not be published instantly. It takes a few days for Amazon to approve it. You should get an email letting you know your review is live.
- After posting a review on Amazon, please post your review of one of our books right here at Water’s Edge Press. 1) Find the book by searching our store or list of books. 2) Scroll down to the link for Reviews; Click the link. 3) Scroll down the page to the end of the reviews where you’ll find a space to paste your pre-written review and the star rating option (five stars, please). We will have to approve your review before it is made public, and that could take a few days. Thank you!!
