As a reader, what can you do to help promote the books?
First, you can wrap your arms around yourself and hug yourself from me. I mean it. The fact so many of you email to ask me how you can help spread the word about me or my books is awesome!
Word of Mouth: The best way to help is to spread the word about my books.
-
- One of the most important way to help an author is by taking the time to write a quick online review of the books, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, Book Bub, Googleplay, Kobo, Audible, Goodreads… they all offer spots for readers to write reviews. Reviews are like virtual hugs for authors. 😉
- Talk about the books online.
- Post about the books.
- Blog about the books.
- Share posts from the Author Page or Tweets.
- Tweet about the books.
- Share the links to the books.
- Tell your book club about them.
- Join Michelle’s Fan Club and share ideas with other readers.
- Become a Review Team Member (if spots are open)
- Agree or disagree with reviews already posted on various vendors
- Request them at local bookstores. My print books can be found through IngramSpark for booksellers (they should know what that is).
- Request them at libraries. The librarian should be able to look up both ebook and print in their ordering system.
- If you see someone is reading an author who is similar to me, suggest they try me (politely, of course… but we know this goes without saying).
- Anything online is the single MOST important thing you can do to help me. Why? Simple, because the majority of my sales have ALWAYS come from ebooks. And with the market shift moving towards ebooks more and more each day this is becoming so for many authors. Not just me.
- If you would like some promo goodies (bookmarks, etc) to pass around to your friends, local bookstores, reading groups and libraries please email me with subject header PROMO GOODIES. Include your name, snail mail addy, how many and for what reason in the email.I can’t promise when they’ll be mailed out or how many will be sent. It depends on what I have on hand and how often my personal assistant is able to get to mailings.
Gifts from Readers…
Over the years, I’ve had readers make me fan art and presents. Thank you all for thinking of me! It means a lot. As I find photos (and if I know for a fact the sender wouldn’t mind me posting), I’ll feature a few of them here:
Thank you, Kathleen H!
Thank you, M!

Humane Society Giving
Today was our family holiday tradition of donating to the animal shelter. Presents and food. 🙂 Then as a bonus we get to play with the animals. This white belly cat was a hard sleeper, lol. So cute. <3
—-> Please consider doing this locally for your shelter. It doesn’t have to cost much, if anything. Some places can use old blankets, empty water bottles and clean, old socks to make enrichment toys for puppies, help playing with or walking the animals. They might have aluminum can recycling to help raise funds (if you’re drinking soda anyway, might as well take a few minutes to donate the cans). Call your nearest shelter and ask how you can help. <—
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I help promote your books?
The single most valuable thing any reader can do is leave a quick online review. Amazon, Apple Books, BookBub, Google Play, Kobo, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, and StoryGraph all offer review slots, and every review (even a sentence or two) helps other readers find a book they might love. Beyond reviews: talk about books online, share posts from the author’s social channels, request titles at local libraries and bookstores, and tell your book club. Word of mouth still moves more books than any other marketing.
Where can I find Michelle online?

How do I join the Reader Club / newsletter?
The Reader Club is Michelle’s free reader newsletter. Sign up at michellepillow.com/newslettersignup/. Members get a welcome email with a free book download, plus new-release notifications, sale alerts, behind-the-scenes content, and the occasional reader giveaway.
Is there a Facebook fan group?
Yes. The Pillow Fighter Fan Club on Facebook is where readers chat about books, share theories, and post fan art. The group is moderated so it stays a friendly space.
Can I request promo goodies (bookmarks, signed plates, etc.) to share?
Sometimes. When promo items are in stock, Michelle ships small bundles to readers, book clubs, and indie bookstores. Email through the contact page with the subject “PROMO GOODIES” and include your name, mailing address, quantity, and what they’re for (book club, library display, etc.). What’s available depends on current stock.
How do I become a Review Team / ARC reader?
The Review Team is hosted on BookSprout. Sign up at Michelle M. Pillow’s Review Team on BookSprout to request ARCs (advance review copies) of new releases. Review Team members receive advance copies of select new releases in exchange for honest reviews on launch day.
Can I send Michelle fan art or a gift?
Yes, and thank you. Reader-made art and small gifts have meant a tremendous amount over the years. Use the contact page to ask for the current mailing address. Fan art shared with permission may be featured on this page or social channels with full credit.
Where can I leave a review that actually helps?
Anywhere readers shop or talk about books. The highest-impact spots for Michelle’s titles are Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, Kobo, Apple Books, and Audible. Library platforms (Hoopla, OverDrive, Libby) and StoryGraph also count. Reviews don’t have to be long. A single honest sentence is genuinely useful. Library hold requests and bookstore order requests are also a form of “review” that pushes books into wider distribution.
