Important update on book reviews
Hi
Just a quick, but important update on the book reviews.�� As previously mentioned, I do have not only a backlog of books to review but also a backlog of reviews from Jo Armstrong and Don Sloan to post. I have put in plans to address this and all of the outstanding reviews that have already been written will be posted within the next 2/3 weeks.
In terms of the waiting time for books to actually be reviewed – well, I have some on the list that have been there for over 12 months and some that are being reviewed more or less as soon as they come in.�� I am trying to rationalise my system, so rather than just having 900 books sitting in an email account waiting to be sent to a reviewer, I am saving titles to Dropbox as they come in. Hence the reason some of the newer titles are being reviewed quicker.�� (Some of the older titles are still sitting in an email account waiting to go to Dropbox) I am sorry, there is��very little that I can do about this as my schedule of other��commitments is huge right now – and ultimately the book reviews are provided free of charge.
In order to maximise your chances of being reviewed, please follow the following steps:
* Send in only EPUB or MOBI – DO NOT send PDF’s as neither of my reviewers particularly like them, and on the rare occasion that I sit down to read I tend to favour either a MOBI or a physical paperback. PDF’s quite frankly irritate the hell out of me.
* Simply send your copy to ingrid@luv2write.net – Do NOT send a query first as depending upon how busy I am, I sometimes delete book review queries that do not contain a copy of the book without responding to them.
I am writing, editing, compiling an anthology, marketing,��launching a series of business and consumer services and dealing with some quite complex personal stuff. I do not have time to be chasing, requesting and following everything up!
