Quick Tip on Disclaimers

Have you ever needed to use a disclaimer but didn’t want it to sound quite so….mmmm. . .official? Walter Brasch, a former journalism teacher and author of Fracking America uses the term to let his students and writing friends know about my How To Get Great Book Reviews Frugally and Ethically: The ins and outs of using free reviews to build and sustain a writing career and kept it light and familiar. It looked like this in his “Updates” column: 

“Behind the Lines: Carolyn is a good friend, and authors who need promo have a valuable resource in her latest book. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Walt”
