Amazon Revises Their Book Rating System

Amazon is yet again making changes. This time, to their book rating system. I was not aware of this when it was announced over two weeks ago. This new policy makes it even more imperative for burgeoning authors to build their platforms prior to releasing their first book and to foster relationships with readers who will purchase their books and take time to leave reviews.

In summary, Amazon will give more weight to:

1. Newer reviews.
2. Reviews based on Amazon verified purchases of books.
3. Reviews with the most helpful votes.

For those who have recently left reviews for my books on Amazon and/or Goodreads (owned by Amazon), I thank you so much!
