Reviews are very important to all authors. A positive review can help to convince someone to buy a book. There will always be negative reviews, but those are often outweighed by the many readers who appreciated the story.
Contests are helpful in selling books as well as long as the contests are reputable ones. Several of my books have been winners or finaled in contests, which is why I call myself an award-winning author--because I am.
The first book of mine that was published, SEA OF HOPE, won the 2002 EPPIE Award Winner for Best Inspirational Novel.
HEAVEN'S BLUE was an EPPIE Award Winner for Best Inspirational Fiction.
PATRIOT'S COURAGE won the NEST Award (National Excellence in Story Telling) for Best Inspirational.
THE COWBOY'S MIRACLE won third place in the Ancient City Romance Writers' Heart of Excellence Readers' Choice Award and was named a finalist in the EPIC eBook Awards.
LOVE'S GIFT is a finalist for the Golden Leaf Award from the New Jersey Romance Writers.
THE KEEPER'S PROMISE was an EPPIE finalist for Inspiration Fiction in 2009. (This book was later released as THE KEEPER'S SECRET by Prism Lux in 2024.
IRONS IN THE FIRE was awarded Best Small Press Paranormal in the Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Awards.
Those are the accolades for several of my books. However, there are far more reviews than awards. Most of my books are very inexpensive and some are available with Kindle Unlimited. Many are also available for free from Hoopla and Libby library apps.
Take some time off and read a good book!
