If you have a professional review of your novel then you are in the right direction of marketing your novel for maximum impact. Marketing your novel or nonfiction book will become easier if you have a high quality professional review. Getting your book reviewed by a professional reviewer or two will play a critical role in marketing your book in mainstream magazines, blogs and even newspapers.

Having your novel or book reviewed by an unbiased third party will help in boosting the credibility of the review and ensure that you get the right attention from the right audience. Once you have such a review, you can actually use it to market your novel and book quite well.

Here are some tips and ideas to use the professional review to their maximum potential.

1. Start with adding the review to the cover of your book or novel. If you have reviews from your friends and family, you should prioritize the professional review over the others. A professional review on the cover of your book will be far more effective than anything else, especially because the review will have the right language to entice the reader to pick the book up.

2. If you have an author website (if you don’t then you should seriously consider getting one), you should post the review over there as well. This will add to your credibility and will help you grab the attention of target audience readers.

3. If you have social media platforms, you must use your professional reviews there as well. You can post the review to publicize your book to your readers. This can be the perfect teaser to show the world that your new book will be out and about soon. Take out little snippets from the review or post the links to the review to build up the hype.

4. When you are trying to contact bookstores, bloggers and librarians, you will find that a press release about your book will be very helpful in gaining their confidence. Taking out an excerpt from the review and placing it at the top of the press release will help you in drawing them in. If you have more than one excellent review, you should add a separate page to your press release for that extra oomph.

5. You can also use your professional reviews to approach libraries and booksellers to show your book or novel’s potential. A positive review will help you entice the libraries and booksellers to stock your books and increase your chances of a better sale.

Last but not least; you can use the review to improve your work and quality. If you get a professional review, you must prepare yourself for some criticism as well. If you get a bad review, you must take it positively and try to improve your skills. You should take it as an opportunity to improve your book and make sure that your book is in perfect condition before you send it off to a publisher.
