Authors Who Don't Wish To Exchange and Review
Posted: 11 Jul 2023, 07:24
Hey there.
I wrote a book 15 years ago which I'm not marketing right now. When asked if I was an author I checked yes, because I am, and found myself being asked to submit a book and being told I can't review normally anymore. I had just submitted my first review at that point.
Am I to understand that writing a book 15 years ago automatically disqualifies me from being paid to write reviews like a person who has not written a book?
Can authors who don't wish to exchange books go back to regular reviews?
Once an author, always an author. I think a distinction needs to be made between authors who have a current book and wish to exchange for review and those who have written books in the past and don't.
Any clarity given on this would be greatly appreciated.
