So I’ve been hip deep in review requests from authors for KWM Digest, and it’s frustrating because it has left little to no time for my personal projects. I started doing the reviews because I wanted to help other indie authors and get the chance to read new material…but I didn’t realize just how time consuming it would be.
So, I’ve decided that after I finish with the review requests I have, I’m going to limit reviews to once a month. Hopefully, that will leave me time for my own work, and still give me time to help other indie authors who need reviews. I know how hard it is to get reviews. I’m trying to get reviews myself.
In any case, I’m backed up 7 or 8 authors. It will be awhile before I request book copies, or ARCs again.
I hate doing it, but I’ll never finish the stories that are nagging me if I don’t.
I know how you feel because I was starting to feel a bit the same a while ago! The more requests I was accepting as well left me with very little time to also read books that I WANTED to read. I think it's a good idea to limit it because otherwise it does tend to become quite life-consuming. Good luck with the reviews.
