Reviews

Would you, as an author, be willing to share your book in return for a book from another author to give an honest review?
Sort of a review for a review.

You could go down a list of books - that had been registered by their authors as available, with brief descriptions, and offer to review that title. If the author was interested in trading for your title he/she would send you the book in exchange and you would each do a review and post to Amazon, Goodreads, etc. If the author was not interested in trading, you could still review his/her book.

The second part of this idea links authors together to share ideas and possibly bolster sales. Whenever possible the exchange of books could turn into a sale for each author.

I believe this is a great chance for independent authors to garner new reviews and make new contacts in this ever growing community.

What do you think?
