When you get this, I’ll be in Texas, speaking about themes from Untrustworthy at a small conference primarily for pastors—the one I’ve mentioned a couple times in prior newsletters. But I wanted to email today to tell you as early as possible that you can now apply to get a free digital copy of my book nearly a month before it’s released by joining the review team.
It’s pretty simple. The main thing you’ll need to do is explain where you can review Untrustworthy once you’ve read it. And you don’t need to be a professional writer or have a big social media following to do this—Amazon, GoodReads, and the like are great places to post reviews.
However, only 50 people will selected for the review team, so if you want to do it, get your application in sooner than later. You’ll only need a couple minutes to apply.
I’ll be in touch again soon with details on two other events I have booked, one in Arkansas on Tuesday, October 24, and one in Chicago on Saturday, October 29. At least the Chicago one is open to the public, and I will check on that for Arkansas, too. I hope to see you there!
