Peer/Audience Reviews

If you are a professional and intend your book to be used or recommend by professional colleagues, it is smart to subject your book to a peer review process. Sending the manuscript to objective professionals in your industry—at least two and maybe up to four whom you respect for their feedback—will save you making serious mistakes you may be too close to your writing to realize. If your peers like the book, they are in a pivotal position to give you a testimonial or recommend it. There is nothing more flattering to professional colleague than asking them to review your manuscript. It shows you consider them at the top of the profession and value their judgment.

You may also find that an associate’s questions and feedback make a good book better because the colleague may have some new ideas that belong in your book.
