[close] Mike Scantlebury is a prominent supporter of the 'Reviews Refuse' movement, which is gaining in traction amongst small publishers and Solo Authors. The reason could be that current rules and regulations for advertising e-books are biased and absurd. It all depends on Reviews, you see. If you've got a list of comments - AND the reviewers have scored the author five stars - then, it is assumed potential readers will be enticed to buy the book. However, the people who are allowed to review - and award the maximum stars - are a small and unfairly limited number of people. Solo authors are finding that No, they can't ask their family to write reviews. Or neighbours, Or friends. Or colleagues in their writing circle. That all might make sense but for one thing - the rules don't apply to large Traditional Publishers, who are allowed to cajole, bribe and flatter reviewers, plus offer them any incentives they choose. It's a broken system, and needs replacing. Luckily, the Reviews Rebellion has begun.
