The Muses Read: The S-Word by Chelsea Pitcher

I’m beyond excited to share this novel with you today. Sometimes you finish a book that leaves you stunned. That leaves you desperately wracking your brain to try to figure out who you can recommend it to. That  even leaves you wishing you wrote it. For me, that book was The S-Word.     The S-Word by Chelsea Pitcher     First it was SLUT scribbled all over Lizzie Hart’s locker. But one week after Lizzie kills herself, SUICIDE SLUT replaces it—in Lizzie’s looping scrawl. Lizzie’s reputation is destroyed when she’s caught in bed with her best...

Self Publishing ProTips: The Dos and Don’ts of Requesting Reviews

Hey everyone! Self-publishing Muse Leigh Ann here! As a self-publisher, you’ve decided that the only audience whose approval of your book matters is the readers. Not agents, not editors – readers. If the reader is the most important judge of your book, then it follows that the book reviewers/bloggers with large audiences of readers are your new gods and goddesses. Worship them. No, I’m not kidding. Not one little bit. Out of sheer benevolence (and possibly maybe one day ARCs of Big Deal Books) these people started using their precious personal time, without pay, to write...
