The literary industry is not unlike most industries – favoritism runs rampant. The general public sees the finished product – the book that lands on the shelf – but is oblivious to the behind the scenes influences (e.g., reviews, literary events, etc.) that can impact the popularity of an author. In an era when so many literary promoters and book review organizations boast about being impartial, but wear their bias on their literary sleeves, the Book Referees team has quickly established itself as a group that offers honest reviews without allowing their likes/dislikes of an author’s personality (or affiliations) to impact their judgment. ~ Bestselling Author, Brian W. Smith
