AUTHOR PROMOTIONS

 Flashback Fridays (#FlashbackFriday) are back. Every Friday, starting in March, up to 4 Reviews per Friday will be reposted. The review, will be accompanied by the book synopsis, and the book cover will be converted from color to Black and White. 

To be eligible, your review must have been posted between January 1 2014 and December 31 2022. Before making a payment, email me at amysbookshelfreviews@gmail.com and write "Flashback Friday" in the subject line, and in the body, the title of the book. (Cover optional). 

If your review has not been copied over from the old site to the new site, your review will be copied over, and posted (as it normally would be). And then, it will be scheduled to run on a Friday as a Flashback Friday Review.

You may wonder about reposting reviews, but reviews are very important, and just because your book was read and reviewed years ago, I believe it should be front and center again, and maybe you can use it for promoting your previously published books. 

Flashback Friday posts will run at 12:00 PM EST. If there isn't a review selected, then the posts will not run. These are paid posts only.

If your review will be posted on its release date, you have the option (for only $10) to have a post run at 9:00 AM EST on its release date about the book and its release. It will be run on my other blog, The official Blog of Amy Shannon which is now on https://essenceenterpriseus.com/amy-shannons-blog 

The new feature is called "Today's Release: (your book title and pen name here)" The post will include the book cover, where to buy, author's website (or main social media profile page), and a post about the book. 

If your review will be posted on its release date, it will be added to the new feature, "This Month's Releases" email campaign, that will run the afternoon of the last date of the prior month (Example, March Releases of the Month, will run on February 28 at 2:00 PM. 

The information will contain the book cover, author penname, about the book, where to buy the book, and its release date.
