Today is launch day... more importantly; today is Rate & Review day.

So why should you take your precious time and write a review for The Life Engineered on Amazon? Because reviews are incredibly important to the visibility of a book and visibility is what helps a novel get into the hands of readers who will appreciate it and thus increase the chances that it will be a success.

Amazon’s system relies on certain milestones being reached before including certain books onto various levels of their platform. What the numbers are and how they impact visibility is a moving target, but what we’re aiming for is between 50 and 70 reviews. You can read more about why reviews are important in this awesome blog post on the subject, but trust me; reviews are extremely important. YOUR review is extremely important.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Read the book
2. Go to the Amazon page for The Life Engineered
3. Scroll down to Customer Reviews and click on the ’Write a customer review’ button
4. Pick a rating between 1 and 5 stars (preferably 5, but I’m biased)
5. Write a review. This can be as in depth as you want, but if you don’t have the time or inclination, even just writing "I liked it!" is enough.
6. Submit the review and bask in the satisfaction of a job well done.

That’s it. That’s all you need to do. Congratulations; you’ve changed my life.

Oh! Hey, today’s the day of my Sword & Laser interview. You might want to leave me a question about The Life Engineered on their Goodreads thread for that very purpose!

Thank you.
