A tablet lies on dry grass and surrounded by dandelions in a natural outdoor setting. The screen displays the cover of the book Everybody Is in the Place by Emma J. Gibbon. The cover features a colorful, fantastical illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes and curved horns, holding something mysterious in her hands. Stars and swirling cosmic elements fill the background, giving the cover a magical and otherworldly feel.

Other Testimonials

Thank you so much! This is a wonderful review. I’m so happy you enjoyed it and I can’t think of a better launch day review to receive!
– T.L. Bodine, author of River of Souls & House of Lazarus

“Thank you for the wonderful review! I appreciate you reading my book and sharing your expert opinion so widely. It means so much to a new author like me.”
– Dean M. King, author

“What a great, kind review! So glad you enjoyed it — and wow, thanks so much for sharing it on social. That’s the hardest part, getting the word out if people like it. So thanks again for taking a chance on a new author, and a new book!”
– Jim Morris, author of Feel Me Fall

“Thank you for the kind and lovely review of Gun Kiss. Your words brought out the essence of my story en pointe.  It has also encouraged me to write another novel based on the same characters, and it would be an honor to have you review it again.”
– Khaled Talib, author of Gun Kiss  

“Reviews are the most intimidating part of putting your work out there. Erica made the process an absolute joy. Her insights have pointed me toward making needed corrections, while encouraging me at the same time. That is a gift. Thank you.”
– Lucretia Stanhope, author of Blessedly Bound

“Thank you so much for that lovely review! So thrilled you enjoyed this one as well. And it’s so funny how you always seem to state a lot of things in your reviews which I thought about while writing the story, like “Will anyone notice the Iron Man-reference?” or “Wonder if some readers will be paranoid about the dog becoming infected?” That’s so cool you pick up on these things and mention them in your reviews! Also, I love how organized you are! Honestly, my mom would love you, lol! The review is always way ahead of time, posted on every channel, always with a quality picture and some great insights, not a day late. I really wish all reviewers could be as thorough as you! :)”
– Nick Clausen, author of the Dead Meat Series & much more

“Thank you so much for your reviews of my two books of short stories, ‘Strange Tales in Fiction and Fact’ and ‘Tales of the Lost’.  In both cases, your comments have been a great encouragement to me and I’m very grateful for the time and care you have taken to assess each story individually.  It’s not so easy for a self-published writer to get a truly independent review and so I really appreciate what a great service you are offering with your insights and honest observations.”
– Richard Howard, author of ‘Strange Tales in Fiction and Fact’ and ‘Tales of the Lost’

“Erica’s reviews are thoughtful and informative. It’s clear she takes a lot of time on each book. Her communication is absolutely wonderful, which makes being an indie author a lot easier.”
– R. A. Desilets, author of The End Diary
