Frequently asked questions
Should I thank every reviewer?
Yes, for every review, good or bad. Reviewers who get thanked leave more reviews, and thanked critics often update their ratings.
Can a thank-you email be too long?
Yes. Keep thank-yous under 150 words: gratitude is felt in specificity, not length. One genuine detail beats three paragraphs of politeness.
