Help More Readers Discover This Book — From Any Amazon Marketplace

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! Here’s how to make sure your thoughts reach the widest possible audience — even if you’re reviewing from outside the U.S. or reading a translated edition of the book.


✅ For All Readers: Making Your Review Go Further

📝 Step-by-Step: Posting a Review from Your Local Amazon

  1. Log in to your regular Amazon account (e.g., Amazon.es, Amazon.nl, Amazon.de, etc.).
  2. Go to the book’s product page in your country’s Amazon store.
  3. Scroll down and click “Write a customer review”.
  4. Add a star rating, write your thoughts, and hit Submit.

💡 Note: Reviews posted on any Amazon site (e.g., .es, .nl, .de, etc.) can be seen globally — but Amazon does not always display them across all countries. So here’s how to make sure they’re also seen on Amazon.com:


🌟 Optional: Reposting Your Review on Amazon.com

(Makes it visible to the largest audience possible)

If you have an Amazon.com account (even if you normally shop in another country), follow these steps:

  1. Go to www.amazon.com and log in with the same Amazon account.
    • You don’t need to repurchase the book to leave a review.
  2. Find the English edition or relevant version of the book.
  3. Scroll down and click “Write a customer review”.
  4. Copy and paste your original review (from your local Amazon).
  5. Submit!

👉 If you can’t submit because you haven’t purchased the book on Amazon.com, try:

  • Using the “Leave a comment” feature under other reviews.
  • Posting to Goodreads, if you’re a member — this also helps visibility.

🌐 If You Read a Translated Edition (Spanish, Dutch, etc.):

Amazon treats each language version as a separate product, so reviews do not automatically transfer to other language editions.

To help your review reach more readers:

  1. Leave a review on the translated edition’s page (e.g., Spanish or Dutch version).
  2. Then, manually repost your review (translated if you can!) on the English edition’s page (Amazon.com) if you feel comfortable.
    • Mention that you read the translated version and are sharing your thoughts for a wider audience.
    • Example: “I read the Spanish edition of this book and loved the storytelling. Even in translation, the message shines!”

✨ Final Tips:

  • Star ratings without a written review still help!
  • Helpful votes on other reviews also increase visibility.
  • Sharing the Amazon.com link with friends helps keep reviews centralized.

🙌 Thank You!

Your support helps other readers discover the book — and your review could be the reason someone gives it a try!

Let me know if you have questions or need help posting — I’m happy to assist!
