Thanks for clarifying the kind of review you meant. Agreed it's a different animal and posts differently.

Denise and Lisa, thank you for your conversation here! As Lisa clarified, professional industry reviews are not a violation (and will improve your Amazon listing, for example, in the Editorial Reviews section). Additionally, they provide extra credibility for your work in other outlets.

It's a joy to delve into the world of reviews together.

I should have been clearer, Denise - I wasn't thinking of going the route of illegitimate reviews. I posted the comment too quickly and I can see how it seemed like that.

I'm actually looking more at industry reviews (Kirkus for example) that IS a legitimate review, but I've been less than thrilled with some of the reviewers they've been assigning to indies lately. But industry reviews definitely open doors.

My debut picture book came out a couple of weeks ago! I’ve been getting reviews from folks I know, etc. But I’m going to continue the outreach for more!

Paid reviews are a violation of the TOS for Amazon. It's explicitly listed in multiple places.
