Hi Members,

The BOTM Program will be taking a break for the month of September. We'll start October's activity earlier to give people more time to submit their title for consideration, longer timeframes for the poll to be open and finally aim to give the successful title a full three weeks for read/review.

Thanks to everyone for your support over the past BOTM programs, hopefully October we can launch with a refreshed platform and with a focus on quality and building on the community of awesome members we have!

If you took part in the August Book of the Month program and received a review copy of either:
Immortal: The Chosen
Lily: A Short Story
Please use this thread to post your thoughts on the book/s and also feel free to link your review also!

Hi Paul,

We had a tie this month with Immortal: The Chosen and Liky: A Short Story both winning.

Please email ebookminers@gmail.com with preferred format (ePub/mobi/pdf) and obviously which book you voted for!

Couldn't agree more Katie! Backing up your work is just common sense really... unless you want to lose it all! The more feedback you get on your work prior to releasing to the masses the better too. Even including a broad range of people to beta is a good idea, getting perspective from different demographics and people with different interests is super informative.

Hi Rose,

Voting takes place via a poll we setup after the shortlisted titles are announced. Typically we would broadcast a newsletter to the entire group with a link to the poll. If the title you vote for wins you are obligated to read and review it for the winning author however if you didn't vote for the winner, but you would still like to read and review the title you are welcome to!
