Oh No, Emergency Reviews Needed!

Hi everybody!

Help, I have an emergency! Ive written before about how proud I’ve always been that the average review on my first book was five stars on Amazon.  Well today, after eight years, it dipped down to 4.5!  This has destroyed me.  Could you please restore my devastated sense of self?  If you’ve never reviewed “The Secrets of Story: Innovative Tools for Perfecting Your Fiction and Captivating Readers”, could you give it five stars today?  Thank you so very much!  Feel free to review it here.

And/or you can review my second book: “The Secrets of Character: Writing a Hero Anyone Will Love” here.  Thank you again!

Both books are apparently easier to review on Goodreads, so please feel free to rate the first one or the second one there!

Maybe you like the audiobook of my first book? You can review the book on Audible. (Click on “More options”)

And/or you can review the second audiobook!

If you’re a fan of “The Secrets of Story Podcast”, I would love an iTunes review, especially because one of the featured reviews on this page is entitled “so-so” (I don’t see how you can do it here, but you can do it by searching for The Secrets of Story Podcast in the iTunes store, then clicking on Ratings and Reviews)

Or you can review that podcast on Audible! (Once again, click on “More Options”)

And while you’re on iTunes, you can also review “Marvel Reread Club”!

Or Review “Marvel Reread Club” on Audible!

At this point, it’s the end of a long day of reviewing Matt Bird stuff, so kick back, relax and watch the sunset. Thanks so much for any help you can give me!

My dude, my guy.

You have a 4.4 on Goodreads, on Goodreads. That place is a pagan hoard that lives to mock beauty and destroy art. It is filled with filled authors who cope with their failure by writing the cruelest and most scathing reviews they can.

Getting 3.5+ on there is miraculous.

4.8 on Amazon is also fantastic. The handful of less positive scores have no reviews.. so I suspect trolls or botnets. The marketing gurus say that perfect scores on Amazon products are counter

But, your work has meant a lot to me, so I'll post reviews as soon as I am able.

Don't let the trolls get you down.

Oh, I know I'm very lucky to have received the reviews I've received over the years, but now it's made me totally spoiled and desperate to maintain my rankings. Thank you so much for the help! Thanks so much to everyone who's helped out, because the average for TSOS is back up to five! My self is un-destroyed.
