Question by : How do you get Amazon to add published editorial reviews (not customer reviews) to a book listing?
My mother’s book, listed on Amazon, has been reviewed by several newspapers and magazines. Only a short sentence from the Columbia Journalism Review is listed. How does she get Amazon to list more editorial comments, for example, from the Kansas City Star? Please note: An “editorial review” from a published source is different from a “customer review.” Yahoo answers to a similar question confused a customer review, which is relatively easy to post, with the more difficult task of how to get Amazon to post comments from published sources. THANKS!

I have a feeling the type of review you’re referring to gets posted on Amazon only as part of a marketing strategy. Does your mother have an agent or a publicist? She should ask her publisher or agent to work on this for her; let them earn their percentage of her sales.
