A MESSAGE FOR WRITERS AND READERS ON THE REASONS BEHIND BOOK REVIEWING

 


I have done an in-depth research on reviewers and have come up with this. I wrote it in poetic form for brevity and clarity.

Someone once said there are no perfect writers and perfect readers.

I agree strongly with those words of wisdom from a great leader.

*

There’s another saying, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.”

We’re all made up differently and will see things from a different angle.

*

Research has shown there are various types of readers in Literature.

Tacit Readers, Aware Readers, Strategic Readers, and Reflective Readers.

*

When reviewing a writer’s book, tacit readers lack understanding.

They stop reading, give a one-star review, their way of absconding.

*

Aware Readers are good at understanding but not good assessors.

Strategic readers are better, but reflective readers are best reviewers.

*

Reflective readers give the best reviews as they are strategic thinkers.

This poem will help writers understand review ratings from readers.

THE SECRET TO SUCCESS

THE SECRET TO SUCCESS.
Famous people always say there are no secrets to success.
I say that a positive attitude always leads you to do your best.
By declining opportunities, you’ll never know what you can achieve.
You’ll remain stagnant, labeled a non-performer, and not what you believe.
*
Success is a never-ending journey; you’ve to keep climbing uphill.
The ladder keeps getting longer to reach the top with every thrill.
Accept change gracefully, and make a difference in your life.
There are no shortcuts to success; hard work is the price.
*
There’s no mysterious secret to success, it’s simply up to you.
Decisions you take, decisions you break, all add up too.
Decide to make a difference for others in your life.
Your life will change dramatically; success you’ll derive.

In 2021 I wish peace and happiness for all humankind.

 


I thought the year 2020 would have been a wasted year.
It started out badly with the coronavirus scare.
Lost favourite people, had to forego travel and luxuries.
Bur, all in all, I have many pleasant memories.
*
Strangely, it turned out to be the most productive year.
I can’t believe I produced nine more books in spite of all the fear.
Along with 64 co-writers, ‘A Spark of Hope 2’ was published in February.
In March with 87 co-writers, came ‘Break the Silence,’ another Anthology.
*
In May, ‘A Road travelled: Poetry to Delight’ made its debut,
Along with mystery novel, ‘What happened to Mary Loo? ‘
‘Barry Holmes Mysteries’ made its appearance in June.
In July, ‘Soothing Poetry in Spanish and English’ followed soon.
*
In October, ‘The Child Poet’ with Barbara and me, moved quickly.
Also ‘Chaotic Times’ with Florabelle, that we worked on swiftly.
In December, “Sweet Medley” filled with birthday tributes from many.
Added to the number of bestsellers and made me so happy.
*
With 33 publications and eight more Literary Awards, my Biography grew.
Conferred by MS, Gujarat Sahitya Academy, WNWU, and Peru.
I sing praises to the Creator as the year went by fine.
I welcome 2021, and wish peace and happiness for all humankind.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Five-Star Reviews for No 1 Bestseller - Sweet Medley by Author Brenda Mohammed

 



SWEET MEDLEY: A POETIC JOY, published three days ago on 13th December 2020, topped the charts on Amazon to rank Bestserrler No 1 in Poetry about Love, and Women's Poetry.



The book also received five five-star reviews in three days.

Here is a five-star review from the Editor- Florabelle Lutchman.

"Sweet Medley-A Poetic Joy by Brenda Mohammed, as the name implies, is indeed a wonderful book of delightful poetry that is indeed a poetry reader’s joy.
There is a variety of topics, and each poem tells a story- a very interesting story. Once you start reading you can never put the book down.
The illustrations based on each story poem, add to the general theme of the actual poem. The author has dedicated this book – her thirty-third publication, to all her readers throughout the world.
She has also made mention of a few names in a special poem she compiled and she has included the poems of all those who wrote birthday tributes for her on 1st December 2020. Did you write a tribute? Well, read on to find yours.
In her Introduction, Farhana Sait had this to say, “This book carries an ocean of interesting poems from the author herself, and tributes to the author from worldwide dignitaries on her Birthday on December first. These tributes are treasures of love for Mrs. Brenda Mohammed, the Iron Lady.”
The brilliantly written Foreword by Dr. Vandita Dharni included, “The Book, ‘Sweet Medley: A Poetic Joy’ encapsulates a feeling of warmth, love, and compassion. The poet Brenda Mohammed, has inked her profound musings in this exquisite bouquet of verses. The poems are infused with nostalgia yet there is hope igniting the dark tunnel of life in all its manifestations.”
What wonderful words to describe this Poetry book and so very fitting.
I loved reading the poem entitled, ‘The Wonderful World of tomorrow’ which gives so much hope in its words.
“I look forward to the wonderful world of tomorrow,
One that’s free from disease and sorrow.
When you can move around without fear.”

Then there is the poem on Confidence.
“Confidence is to feel sure of yourself and abilities.
It’s a quiet inner knowledge of your capabilities.”
There are so many interesting and enticing poems that give so much hope to the reader. It is really difficult to itemize as the reader will fall in love with each, as it is easy to relate to the relevant theme of the poems.
I personally loved each one and could not stop reading, as the story told by each poem is so mesmerizing.
Rhyme and Rhythm can be seen all through in each poem and this gives added interest to the reader. The style and skill of the author are brilliant as she composes from multiple complex feelings of joy, love, pain, hurt, hope, and relaxation.
The poems are suitable for all ages, so this book will be a valuable present for both young and old, so get your copy today.

REVISE CONTENT OF YOUR BOOKS REGULARLY TO ATTRACT NEW READERS


REVISE CONTENT OF YOUR BOOKS REGULARLY TO ATTRACT NEW READERS

How are your books doing lately? If you have seen a slowdown in sales do not be discouraged. The original content may have served you well but times change rapidly.
Content optimisation and republishing can breathe new life into your book and reach and grow a larger audience.
How can you improve the content of a book, regardless of genre?
Books require regular updating. In addition to updating the content itself, the cover may need to be changed.
In addition, you never stop learning when writing new content.
Optimising an old publication can be done faster than writing a new book and can bring you splendid results.
I have revised the contents of my books several times and changed book covers often.
It does wonders for my book sales.
Every time I read my books I see areas I can improve on. I see where I can add relevant details and I also see how a change in book cover can attract new readers.
That is one of the advantages of being a self-published author.
You are free to make changes to your books at any time.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BOOKS NEED REVISING?

You know that your book needs revising from the reviews you receive from readers.
Very outdated passages can be shortened. However, this should always be done with caution. Check your spelling, grammar and writing style. You may have made some progress and created a more grounding focus in your writing style and sentence structure and this can improve your content.
Amazon does not allow changes to title and sub-title. However, content and Cover can be changed at any time.
Consider doing an audio book or video book trailer to encourage more readers to buy your books.
By following these few ideas, you will keep your books alive, in the forefront at all times, and with continuous sales to your benefit.

Library Donations by Author Brenda Mohammed

I was invited on May 18th to a Library function at Naparima College to a photoshoot to present books I donated to the Library.
The photos were posted on the Naparima College Library Facebook page later that day.
There was media personnel present also, so pictures may appear in the local press.
When the Librarian, Andrea Charles, saw KATASHI TALES, she remarked, “The students love Folk Tales. They will love this book.” She looked through the book and loved the content. I told her that the author Shiju H Pallithazheth is from Muscat, Oman. As I was the Chief Editor he was pleased that the book was being placed in school libraries in Trinidad so that students can experience different forms of literature.
I explained that it was an initiative of both Narendra Rajkumar and myself to donate books to schools on the island.
When she saw HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS she loved it too and asked if I would be available at end June to do a session with students on how to write.
She was also very pleased with A Spark of Hope and Memoirs of my Father.

Later that day this message with pictures was posted on the Facebook Page of Naparima College Library.
