10 sy Steps to Writing a Book Review on Amazon.com


1. Go to Amazon.com or use the book's link to take you to the page on Amazon.com.

2. If you go directly to amazon.com, write the name of the book (like The Talking Palm or the author's name) into the search box.

3. The book shows up.

4. Click on the image of the book for which you want to write a review.

5. Beside the book image that emerges after that click, and on the right hand side of the book is a phrase that says, "Be the first to review this item."

6. Click on that link.

7. It will take you to a login page that also has the 3-4 simple steps to write your review.

8.  Two of the easy steps include rating the book out of five stars and choosing either a video or written review. Choose one, preferably written.  

8. Don't worry or be afraid that your review may not be like the professionals'.  It does not need to be.  You read the book.  You have an opinion.  Your opinion is important. Express it!

9. Make your review simple.  Let it a few sentences stating what you think the book is about, if you like the book or not and why, if the book impacted you in any way and if you would you recommend the book or not. What you say will help another person decide whether to buy the book or not. That is power!  

10.Preview your work to see how it looks. Post it.

11. Voila! Done! .You wrote a review! You are published!

Thank you

A Rose is Born


A Rose is Born

 
A single bud sits amidst the prairie stems.
 
The sun shines freely in the morning sky,
Radiating its golden rays into a dazed and sleepy pond.
 
A red velvet petal unfolds, beckoning invisible forces.
 
The wind blows openly throughout the meadow's sweetness.
Rippling through the green summer grass,
Refreshing the single bud.
 
A velvet petal unfolds itself,
Awakening the lazy pond.
A velvet petal unfolds itself,
Bringing the wonders of life into motion.
 
Green leaves burst from the swaying stem,
Boasting the never-dying beauty that will now, not always, show though to the world.
A velvet petal unfolds itself.
 
A baby mouse playfully bats at the leaves.
Circling
Squeaking, jumping up, scampering around.
 
A velvet petal unfolds itself and warms the groggy pond.
Filling it with feelings of happiness,
Erasing all moments of despair.
Inspired, the sunlit pond whispers its favorite song,
Opening the eyes of wilderness,
With its gleaming yellow glow.
 
Lightening evermore the spirit of the growing wonder.
Which will in a period of time,
have such an effect on a single mind,
This one single rose,
That will change the lives, the destiny, of many.
