Do I as a reader owe my favorite indy authors reviews? or FB comments (I don't tweet)? I can see the point, but I really hate writing reviews. |
Nope, you don't owe us a thing and it doesn't matter if the book is traditionally published, free, or indie published. If an author chooses to give books away, that means it is FREE (unless they are entering an actual exchange where the reader promises a review upfront, etc.)
