A short YouTube session (introduced by Julie Broad) in which Sarah explains the three main types of book reviews authors should pursue: endorsements (brief promotional quotes from recognizable figures), editorial reviews, and customer reviews. The chunk includes an introductory framing and a definition of endorsements (one- to two-line promotional quotes from notable figures recognizable to the target audience).

So in March, Sarah did a deep dive on reviews. And I have some excerpts from that session for you today and in an upcoming video as well. So first, she shares the three kinds of reviews. So I'm just going to turn it on over to Sarah. Take it away.
Three different types of book reviews, and you have probably heard about these in some form or another. The first kind that we're going to be talking about are endorsements. Then we're going to get into editorial reviews. And then finally, customer reviews. Endorsements are those brief promotional quotes that can be used solely for marketing purposes. They're usually one to two lines from a notable figure. And when we talk about notable figures, we're talking about a name that is recognizable to your target audience. These could be authors, academics, business leaders, experts, even celebrities.
