Dear Author with No Reviews,
Last year, I saw several authors complain about not being
able to get reviews for their books, no matter what they did. They panicked
because reviews = sales. The thing is, it is hard to get reviews, and it’s even
harder now than it was, say, five years ago.
Reviews are very important to authors. It's true. That's why you may see posts from authors on social media encouraging readers to post reviews. (These types of posts are gentle reminders. They're not trying to be rude or selfish.)

With self-publishing growing every year, with small publishers
signing dozens of authors a year, and with many authors publishing several
books a year, no wonder it’s hard to get reviews, because all of these authors
are looking for reviews, too.
