Promoting and Socialising with authors discussion

Hiya everyone,

I started this new folder to help authors and bloggers find each other. Reviews are very important in the publishing industry, in fact in all industries. Customers tend to buy books with good review.

So if you're a blogger, reader, author and you review books, stop by and leave your details here including the type of books you review etc.

Thanks.
I hope this helps writers who are looking for reviewers.

What a good idea! As an author I'm always on the lookout for those who might fancy reviewing my book. This looks like it will be very useful.

Really nice. I must add. I have already starting reading about Catherine and Frank's kids

That is my blog but it is fairly new. I have reviewed a ton of Indie author books though here and on Amazon under this username.

Thanks, Kelvin, for putting this together!

Very nice idea Kevin. Thank you for thinking about this.

Hey Erin, please redirect this post to the other topic. This is for reviewers alone. I'll delete it after a day or two :)

You're welcome dear

I am always looking for books to review. I review there here, amazon, and on my blog (www.samajama27.blogspot.com). I will review most genres but at this time I am only accepting print. If you would like for me to review your book send me a message here, or email me at samajama27@yahoo.com

Hey Kelvin, this is a great idea. My book will be out at the end of June, so I'll be looking for reviewers then.

I do some reviews on my blog, but I am not a reviewer by any means. I only reviews stories that interest me and it's more a case of doing it to let my readers know I liked something.

Hey Haresh, I don't really know if I got the message across, but repost this onto a different group. This is for reviewers only :)

Wonderful idea!

My debut novel Sweet Light just came out. It is a fantasy (yes there is romance too!)
It's available at smashwords, OmniLit, BN and Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Light-ebo...
I have a few coupon codes for Smashwords for interested reviewers. Also willing to do author interview etc on blogs too :)
I've a number of short stories out already (mostly YA)
Please email if interested jenniferw2mail (at) gmail.com
Happy reading everyone!

Gosh, I'm trying here, but you guys aren't helping. This thread is for reviewers alone. Don't post details of your books, do this on the next thread. PLEASE people

I, along with several other people, review all genres except erotica at http://www.goodbookalert.blogspot.com/

Just to make this clear, the Good Book Alert is a group project and we have certain group policies about the submission process to minimize potential favoritism, et cetera. If you're interested in submitting to GBA, please go to the website and follow the submission guidelines. Please do not mail me directly to ask for a review. I'll just turn around and tell you to submit to the site. :)

Thanks, all.

Hi all,

I would love some book interviews. I have had three new books come out in the last few months. Kate's Way www.createspace.com/3498926, The Basket Weaver, www.createspace.com/3553668 and Voices from the Land www.createspace.com/3552509
Kate's Way is a novel about a middle-aged women facing an unwanted divorce and striking out on her own. She befriends five homeless men, reaquaints with an old friend and her life changes in dramatic ways.
The Basket Weaver is about a couple who go to the Yucatan to revive their relationship when mysterious events begin to occur. Randy leaves for home but Alana stays, connects with a Mayan healer and learns about forgiveness, love and healing. Voices from the Land is a channeled book, dare I say it. I was told my an intuitive to sit on my five acres and be still, listen and write. So I did. The year seems to be around 1860 and a new town filled with conflict, hope and survival is told to me from the voices who lived there. Anyone interested?

I read/ review for my blog, and also usually post on Amazon, Goodreads, and Librarything... I prefer e-format as it's just easier to lug around :-)

Take a look at my blog http://www.quirkygurl.com and if you are interested in being reviewed let me know. Thanks!

Thanks I'll check it out. Right now I'm packing to move.

Kelvin, I think the confusion is because the topic is "Writers looking for reviewers" so writers who are looking for reviewers are posting here. I see what you were thinking when you wrote it; it's just a case of something meaning two different things depending on how it's read. :-)

Having said that, I do book reviews. My blog isn't strictly book reviews, but I post daily and 1-3 posts a week are book reviews. I'll review most genres, but I don't have a portable ereader, so they need to be physical books at this time.

I post reviews on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads and my blog. I can post on other sites upon request.

I just started a weekly book giveaway, in which I giveaway a book I've previously reviewed, so unless you have a specific objection, your book would also be featured in a giveaway.

Thanks Amanda

To R. Simon who won Kate's Way in the Goodreads giveaways. Thank you for your touching review. Glad you liked Kate's Way.

Great thread. Thanks!

I am not currently accepting review books. I have a huge backlog to get through before I take on any more.

Having said that, I do book reviews. My blog isn't strictly book reviews, but I post daily and 1-3 posts a week are book reviews. I'll review most genres.
Update: **I just got a Kindle, so I can now accept ebooks for review. **

I'm a book reviewer. Book Blogger.
Not accepting book reviews of e-books as of now. Too many but print I can make an exception. That said I review fantasy/science fiction but review others too. Right now want to feature author interviews! Go to Book & Movie Dimension and send me a message.

Hi Everybody,

I am a professional reviewer just starting out. I review fiction, pretty much every genre (except a few). I do charge because it's only lil ol' me running this operation, but I review a very large range of genres whereas other reviewers do not. I also post to my site as well as other large e-commerce sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
