Have you ever received a one-star review? It hurts, right?
"A One-Star Review Is Like
a Red Spot On a White Shirt"
That single bad review can completely ruin your sales, but more importantly... it hurts!
Instead of rubbing that spot until your knuckles bleed, or ignoring it, which doesn't make the stain go away, there are ways to turn it around...
… and transform a one-star review into a blessing.
Even better...
You can completely skip the "bad review" step and go directly to the blessing with just a small change in your routine.
Why Are One- or Two-Star Reviews So Bad?
If we ignore the fact that they hurt our egos... And if we for a moment forget how fragile most of us are... How we're always only one harsh word or bad review away from quitting...
Forget the harm a bad review can have on our souls and self-confidence...
Why else are they bad?
Bad Reviews Hurt Sales
Nobody can completely avoid bad reviews. Even J. K. Rowling gets them. Even Stephen King gets them.
And a few one- or two-star reviews are okay. A three-star review won't kill sales either.
But if most of your reviews are bad, then it will affect your potential customers. They'll take one look at your cover, one look at your description and one look at your average 2.4 stars and leave.
Is All Lost?
No, not at all.
If you have mostly bad reviews, you can take your book down, fix the problems and upload again with a new cover and a new title.
If you only have a few bad reviews, you can fix your story now and avoid getting more of them.
"Fix It? How Do I Do That?"
Hi, I'm Britt Malka, and a while ago, I showed a story I had written to my friend, Jaimi Sorrell, who is a writing coach and a writer herself.
It didn't take her long to find a flaw in my plot.
"Why didn't I see that myself?" I asked her.
"Authors rarely can. That's why bad reviews can be such a good thing."
"You Mean I Should Be Happy
about a Bad Review?"
"In a way... Because it can help you fix your story."
"It can be fixed?"
"Yes, it can," she replied. "Instead of crying over bad reviews you can use them to improve your book."
"That Sounds Good, But..."
"Do I really have to wait for a bad review before I can fix my story? I mean, I would rather avoid them completely, if I can."
"Oh, yes, for sure, but you need feedback from people used to reading books in your genre," Jaimi said. "Friends and family are not usually a good idea because they probably won't want to hurt your feelings by telling you the truth. You need beta readers who know what they are talking about and are willing to be honest."
Good News
Like all writers, I want my manuscript to be as good as it can get before I publish. And the thought of having to wait for a one-star or two-star review made me cringe.
"But once you've got feedback, how do you improve your story? Isn't that hard?"
Jaimi laughed. "My friend and I do it all the time. After we watch a bad movie, we have fun coming up with ways they could have fixed it. It doesn’t usually take us very long."
"That sounds like a lot of fun," I agreed. "But what does that have to do with fixing my story?"
"Easy," she said. "You just apply the things you learn from watching GOOD movies to your book."
Her words gave me a great idea. "Why don't you write a book about that?" I said.
Introducing...
Inside Fast Film Fiction Fixes Book 1: What (Plot and Structure) Jaimi uses her background as a network television publicist to dissect, analyze and decode the real meaning behind some of the most typical bad reviews.
Then she shows you the fix for each problem.
I have worked with Jaimi Sorrell as my go-to editor on several of my own books. She would rank at the very top of the list when it comes to savvy editing that goes beyond just fixing typos.
She is masterful at helping writers communicate what they want to say, and do so in ways that evoke the emotion or reaction a reader is craving!
Her history in the film business, and familiarity with the challenges of writing and self-publishing make her insights in 'Fast Film Fiction Fixes' ones that any fiction writer can apply immediately to improve their reader satisfaction, and as a result the inevitable read-through, growth of a fan base, and those all important royalties.
I give my wholehearted support and recommendation to anything Jaimi creates because I know the passionate heart, attention to detail, and integrity that stands behind all that she does.
