Thank you for your timely response. I am using a small publishing company and we are doing a joint marketing list. I appreciate your time, and might I add I enjoy your books. When I grow up I want to be able to write with your kind of talent.
Check out the web site NetGalley.com. They provide books to reviewers. Books are listed and people request them, based on description. This way the reviewer is requesting a book that they think will interest them. Then you or your publisher gets to decide who gets a copy.
Thank you Krista, I really appreciate your suggestion and help. I will look into that.
Hi Gayle, what an interesting question.
I have further questions for you:
What's the genre of your novel? Which digital formats can you provide it in? Are you looking for general feedback or (be honest!) also some editing, maybe for continuity, storyline, or just plain grammar/spelling?
I'm asking these questions because there is most likely a group on Goodreads offering help with what it is you require, and I'm quite happy helping you find it.
Depending on the (sub)genre, I might even take it on myself.
Krista's comment is quite helpful, of course - but obviously, Netgalley is a charged service. You'd propably have to go through your publisher for that.
Looking forward to your reply - maybe contact me directly? Best, Steffi
Stef, good question, I do have and editor/publisher. She is a small publishing company and I will be assisting with some of the tasks, such as making a marketing email list and finding a few people, besides my family and all of of my friends to give an honest review. We're almost through with the first edit, I'd say it's women fiction, maybe even inspirational. I'm so new to all of this in part I'm asking so I can learn through the whole process. I would like good, honest reviews, not ones that tear it apart but if there is an issue, I would like to know it. Thanks for your response and good wishes.
