Great read for authors. Although I have yet to publish, I do not always go by reviews for books/movies- especially because tastes vary! So I hope that a couple negative reviews would not discourage an author- or someone from buying. Honestly, now that I pretty much just read ebooks- I download the sample. If I love the sample I buy & that is how I judge a book for myself.
Enjoy the post!
This may be an instance that disproves the theory that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. The author in question is certainly getting some publicity out of his behaviour, but I don’t see him achieving more book sales from it. I think that in order to publish a book an author should be confident enough in the quality of the book that a bad review will not overly discourage them.
