Episode 106: Really want more 5-star reviews? (w/ Tex Thompson)

I had an interesting exchange on Twitter while asking folks what they need in their writing community (speaking of, I'd love to hear your response too!). One of the answers was, "I need more 5-star reviews." When I suggested he rethink the notion as honest, critical reviews are more helpful to us as authors, he insisted that while the editor may see the benefit, the book marketer needs the top-tier reviews.

Well...no, actually. As it turns out, customers like critical reviews!

This also took us down the road of exploring why we fear criticism, how we get passed that, and finally, what does it mean to have a writing community where we can fail safely?
