Hi ,
Thanks so much for being on my ARC team for Beauty and Deceit! Reviews make such a difference to potential readers.
The book releases in two weeks. Below are all the details I sent in my original email, in case you need a refresher. Remember, if you submit typos by this coming Sunday July 2, you may win a signed paperback ... and everyone who submits typos gets a signed bookmark!
A couple of notes:
- Want a signed paperback? Use the coupon code BeautyStreetTeam for $3 off! Pre-order here.
- Would you like to stay on my mailing list and get two free fantasy stories, including Straw into Gold, a gender-swapped Rumpelstiltskin retelling? If so, sign up here!

• What are the review links? Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub.
• What if I find a typo? Rather than mentioning it in a review, please mark it and let me know. You can email me at carolbethanderson@gmail.com (or just reply to this email). Please give me the chapter number (not page number) and several words so I can find the typo. Whoever reports the most valid errors by the end of the day on Sunday, July 2 will get a signed paperback copy of my book (even if you live outside the US). If there’s a tie, I’ll draw one winner. And everyone who submits typos will get a signed bookmark.
• When should I review? On Amazon, please review as soon as the book is published (July 11). If you finish early, please review before publication on other sites.
• Who should review on Amazon? Anyone who’s allowed to by Amazon and who can review without bias. (If you’re close to me and prefer not to review on Amazon, that’s fine!)
• How many stars should I give the book? As many as you honestly feel it deserves.
• Verified reviews on Amazon: Feel like purchasing the book on Amazon so your review will be Verified? I never expect ARC reviewers to do so, but if you’d like to . . . wow, thanks! Paperback copies will be available soon.
• Do I need a disclaimer in my review? Yes, unless you purchase the book. Please don’t say you were given the book “in exchange for” a review. Suggested language: “I received a complimentary copy of What if I don’t want to finish the book? That’s okay. No book is a perfect fit for every reader.
• What else can I do to support you? How kind of you to ask. If you liked this book, please post about it on social media. Feel free to tag me (Carol Beth Anderson on Facebook, @CBethAnderson on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok). You can also join Carol Beth Anderson’s Street Team, my reader group on Facebook!
