I'm a writer who has a beta-reader and beta-reads for another writer.
Amazon enforces a no-reviews policy that stops many authors from reviewing, unless Amazon hasn't figured out pen names. I do not exchange reviews with fellow authors, which seems likely to serve all our self-interests more than honest reviews, favorable or not, from disinterested readers and from review sites.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
