Amazon Review Policy For Writers Is Like Blackmailing Our Readers
Is it legal for our readers to pay an additional $50 to leave a review for a book they have purchased?
Writers are struggling; 99.99% of writers must have a day job to sustain and maintain their dreams. Many give up, and most end up doing therapy. A review influences our sales significantly. A good review can and will help our books reach a wider audience.
Words are powerful tools.
How it’s said can heal or harm.

This male bought my book. He is in Canada. He enjoyed it and attempted to leave a review, and this was what Amazon told him. Why wasn’t he informed of this before he made his purchase? If he had known, he would have made his purchase at D2D.
This other person attempted to leave a review again, and this is what they got.
