We thank you for reading our book.
You’ve already rocketed to the top of our Favorite People In The World List, currently populated by J.J. Abrams, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Craig Ferguson, and whoever first thought to put cookies in ice cream (someone give that person a Nobel Prize!)
But there’s one more thing we’d appreciate if you have a few minutes…
If you enjoyed this story, or even if you kinda liked it, please LEAVE A REVIEW TODAY.
WHY REVIEWS MATTER
We hate begging you like an NPR pledge drive, but we’re new writers, still making our name. In today’s publishing world, with so many great writers out there trying to get noticed, reviews are one of the primary ways writers free themselves from obscurity.
We would both write no matter what, even if we only had five readers. And we have. Dave wrote for years while working graveyard at a gas station, dreaming of a day he’d have people wandering the worlds of his design in the hallways of their mind. Sean spent 30 years sucking movies, books and TV through a pop culture straw, thinking the entire time that he “could never do that” until the day he wondered if he could.
We’re writers. We have stories to tell, and want to tell them to you forever.
Our books are what we do when we get up to go to work each day. The better our books do, the better we do. The more we can write, and the more ambitious we can be.
Will You Be a Part of Our 1%?
About 1% of people who read a book review it.
Some people don’t like leaving reviews.
Some people don’t realize how much it matters to a modern author.
Some people have never left a review and have no idea what to say.
Some people never even consider it.
Most people don’t have time.
If you can’t leave a review for whatever reason, or even if you don’t want to, we totally understand. We are thrilled you’re reading, and appreciate the time you spend in our worlds.
But if you do, please know that you’re part of that 1% who really drive us to get noticed, since we know you want to see a What Would Boricio Do? Show on HBO as much as we would.
The biggest challenge for indie authors is finding an audience. Word-of-mouth and reviews at Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Goodreads, and similar sites can make all the difference in the world between whether a new reader will find and buy our books.
If you have a few minutes, you will make a huge difference in how our story as indie writers continues to unfold. It doesn’t have to be long, just honest. Three sentences saying why you liked the episode (or season) will read like pages of thank-you to us.
Click on any of the links on the Our Books page to be brought to the Amazon page for the book you wish to review.
Thank you for reading,
Sean Platt & David Wright
