When I wrote my book proposal, you know what it included?
Reviews counts on external places like goodreads and amazon for the major comps my book was being compared to.
I sat with one of the editors who was considering my book and watched him pull up the *raw number of reviews* for other software leadership and team culture books, and I watched him startle as he realized oh, this is a real, serious category. Totally new possibilities unrolled because of that moment

I'm filled with joy when I see your photos, hear your quotes about the book, hear you are bringing it to book clubs!! If you want that signal to go 5x, or 10x as far -- copy paste a single line from it to where you bought your book (apple, kobo, b&n, waterstones, amazon), or storygraph, goodreads, hackernews, any tech forum you like that duplicates an information signal from social media out there -- and trust that I will *never look at it* This shapes the information world around the book
