Authors Love Their Readers It’s true. We do. You–our readers–are the entire reason for what we do. You might have heard the writerly advice at some point to “write what you want to read” but I’ll tell you a secret: most of the authors that I know, personally, don’t do that. We write because we have stories to tell, ideas that are burning a hole right through our soul with the brightness of the need to be told. And we want YOU to read them, to smile and laugh and cry with us, just as we did while writing them.  There are so many ways that you can help authors continue to do what they love to do. Buy their books (obviously, haha), but other ways are just as impactful. Share with your friends. Post your latest and favorite read on Facebook or other social media platforms. And perhaps one of the sneakiest, but most important ways you can support your fave authors is to leave a review.  Retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple use algorithms that are influenced by the number and quality of reviews left on books that determine whether they will put those titles in front of other readers that may or may not be familiar with them. This is often called the “also boughts” – the section that says readers like you also bought these books.  Does the idea of leaving a review give you the heebie jeebies? Do you hate the idea of trying to write paragraph after paragraph, critiquing for each and every book you read? Not to fear, my friend. Simply leaving a starred review with a single line of “I liked it” is enough to impact the book’s overall standing. Won’t you consider saving an author and leaving a review today?

Tomorrow my (now) 6th grader goes back to school, and I am pretty sure neither of us are prepared for summer to be over. She will be starting middle school, and I find myself feeling melancholy lately over the changes that this summer has brought. When I was a kid myself, of course, it never occurred to me that my parents might feel just as sad about the summer coming to a close as I did, but now that I have a preteen barreling into young adulthood at full speed, I find myself longing for sweeter days of chasing fireflies with a mason jar, swimming all day, and sleeping in late.

How about you? Whether you have children or not, is there anything about the end of the summer that brings an emotional shift to your heart? What do you do to celebrate these last, few, precious days?

As for us, we will be soaking up the sun on this last, gloriously schedule-free day, and then on Wednesday not only does my kiddo start school, but my new writing schedule will begin. Eight FULL hours per day, dedicated to completing works-in-progress, and starting new projects as well. These next few months are going to be bringing some amazing stories, and I can’t wait until I am able to share them with you. 

Welcome to Jess’s Word Rebels, where the words fly fast and free, and readers aren’t limited to any one favorite genre. Grab a cup of coffee (or your preferred brew), sit back, and enjoy the adventure!

As I looked through the Facebook author and book groups that I belong to recently, I noticed that there was something missing, something preventing me from really enjoying the content, and that sparked an idea. What if I could create my own Facebook group that would be the ONE place where my readers, family, and friends could hang out, get some fun content, participate in weekly giveaways, AND not be restricted to one kind of literary genre?

And so, Jess’s Word Rebels was born.

This will be a group that encourages discussion of favorite authors, books, themes, memes, jokes, trivia, and basically all things literary. Click HERE to join today!
