20250421 Reposting Another Old Blog - Negative Reviews
Reposting Another Old Blog

So, I will continue to offer words of advice from other writers far more knowledgeable and experienced that me.

This one from 2012 is about dealing with negative reviews.
         It basically says all writers get them, and nothing is universally loved.
         This was originally sent to me by a writer friend from the USA because I had recently received a death threat coming from my first book.
A DEATH THREAT!

Amazon banned the person who left the review (and threat) and wiped it out, but I was threatened with death by some USian who called himself a Christian (which was the basis for said threat). I was worried; he wanted to kill me! I even contacted the police here in Australia, and I believe he was sent a message, but I don't know what came of it.
         So, having said all that, here is a quick look at some negativity in reviews. The links don’t all work (come on, it’s 13 years old!) but the message remains.

So true, so true…
         However, for what it’s worth, A Wrinkle In Time was a 2-star book at most. I can understand the 1-star reviews there.
