Fully Booked: The Hidden Gems Author Podcast
Author Craig Tuch has written a large number of books under a variety of pseudonyms, which have collectively sold hundreds of thousands of copies and had close to 100 million page reads. In 2016, he started HiddenGemsBooks.com as a way to help new and established self-published authors navigate the complex and often-changing world of self-publishing. Since then, Hidden Gems has become well known and respected for helping thousands of authors market their books more effectively and sell more copies through a variety of services, free tools, and a weekly blog. Roland Hulme’s 15+ years as an advertising executive in New York and London gave him an advantage when he turned his hand to writing, because no matter how good your stories are, you can’t sell any copies of a book that no one knows about. His targeted ads have led to his novels being bought and enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of readers. If you’re interested in ways to improve as a writer, or in learning about new or better ways to market, advertise and sell your books, then join Craig and Roland every Thursday as they talk with each other and their guests about a wide range of topics relevant to self-publishing and writing.

In this first episode of the Hidden Gems Author Podcast, Craig Tuch and Roland Hulme discuss the purpose and goals of this podcast, a bit about the author services company Hidden Gems itself, and then dive into a discussion about one of the most important topics to authors in general: Book reviews.
There are ways to position your book to get good ones, but even the best books end up with some negative ones. We discuss why those bad reviews aren’t always as “bad” as authors fear and what they might mean, what can be done about them, and even how they can be used to improve our books going forward.
