Usually, other authors are willing to review my book if I review theirs. I very rarely get reviews from random readers. :-(Penelope Marzechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563853832717077875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-70988153386896532472015-07-30T09:50:06.422-04:002015-07-30T09:50:06.422-04:00Hi Penelope, I haven't had great success with ...Hi Penelope, I haven't had great success with giving books out for review, unless I know the person.

I've just recently had to reevaluate my own writing service fees because I realized I wasn't giving myself enough credit. And if I don't value my own work, how can I expect other people to?
