Linda Kurth (lindamkwriter) | 11 comments I'm looking for advice on finding and contacting reviewers for my new romance novel. It's a Kindle edition, and I also would like to know how to offer this to a reviewer for free.

Brian Bigelow (brian_bigelow) You can always request a review in the thread I set up for that purpose here on Go Indie. There are also some reviewer groups on FB. What I do when I wish to give a reviewer a copy I usually email them either a mobi , epub or PDF copies, whichever works best for them. You can also Google search book review blogs, most will post on their blog and Amazon.

Thanks, Brian. I was wondering if I could send it as a PDF. I'm not sure what you mean by the "review thread," Could you please elaborate? Thanks again!

Brian Bigelow (brian_bigelow) I created that one 'reviews, reviews, reviews...' I'll try to make the meaning clearer on the thread. Would like to interface reviewers and authors if possible which also be good for this group.

I have a pretty extensive read to review list so it might take a while for me to get to yours.

Florence Witkop | 35 comments Sounds great. I was about to give up on finding anyone who isn't family to review my books.

Brian Bigelow (brian_bigelow) I finally remembered these guys, I used to do reviews for them. http://www.booktweetingservice.com/p/...

You simply go down the page and contact the reviewer. Will tell you I used to get a huge amount of requests. I'm a reviewer that turned into an author. I still review books but you know how it goes, I now have a publisher to keep happy and do release books on my own.

Kalyn Fogarty | 8 comments I am a kindle author willing to do some reviews in exchange for a review on my new literary/women's fiction book. My email address is kalynfogarty@gmail.com if anyone is interested in trading books!

Mine is available for FREE download until tomorrow if anyone is interested. It's easiest to read on the kindle vs pdf/mobi/etc I think!

Florence Witkop | 35 comments I'm interested in a review for a review. I've done literary writing, won a litarary award a long time ago, and have done a bit of editing for literary fiction. What's your novel about and how long is it? My latest, rather short, novel is a contemporary, paranormal romance. Think we might be compatible?


message 9: by Kalyn (new)

Kalyn Fogarty | 8 comments I think we may be! My novel has a paranormal element and a love story, but I wouldn't categorize it as romance so much as women's fiction. My novel is about 310 pages in a typical trade paperback size. Do you have a kindle? Otherwise I can get you a paperback copy. Let me know!


message 10: by Florence (new)

Florence Witkop | 35 comments I have a kindle. I don't know how to get a free copy to you via Kindle but I can email you a copy. I think I can, I'm technologically challenged but I'll manage something. Or, if you can walk me through the process, I'll do whatever you say. What's your email address? Mine is fwitkop@gmail.com

Jill Sanders (jillmsanders) | 80 comments I'd be interested in this.

My first book, Finding Pride just made it to round two in Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.

Right now it's free on amazon at the below link. If you want, I'd love to return the favor. Just email me at jill@prideseries.com

Oh, whenever I review a book, I put it up on my blog at http://www.prideseries.com/blog.html (added bonus ;)

Thanks!

I would love to get in on this...I have three books. The reviews thread, you say?


message 13: by Florence (new)

Florence Witkop | 35 comments Hi All
I'm working on emailing every interested reviewer a copy of my latest novel. I just discovered my software is antiquated and I need to update it so I can easily email this stuff as PDF files. So I'm off to the computer store and should be doing it soon. And thank you, thank you, thank you.


message 14: by Florence (new)

Florence Witkop | 35 comments Like I said, I'm off to the computer store... again. Hope to have everything working in a couple weeks. Seems my computer is more antiquated than I thought! But I still want to get and give reviews ASAP.
