A Goodreads user asked B.M.B. Johnson:

Thanks for inviting me to join the "Authors looking directly for Readers" group. Much appreciated! Can you let me know if you have any strategy to get reviews for your books? Thanks

B.M.B. Johnson Sorry for the late reply. I was hoping to get some inspiration or maybe find some strategy for getting reviews of my books to give you a hopeful answer.

Plainly, I suck at it. I would be a horrible person to ask for advice in this arena. Hopefully you have found someone else to give you a better answer than this in your travels through the writer-sphere, in which case I hope you'll pass on to me your secrets.

I can say for certain, though, that begging people to read your book, and harassing them on social media, is NOT the way to go about it.

Yours in lack of reviews,

BMB
