Authors are always on the hunt for opportunities to showcase their writing. Can you give us a link to your site?
Hi all,I have a very small publishing company (not trying to get business...mostly word of mouth first time authors) and I print through Ingram Sparks. Lately, I have had author friends come to me with their children's books. I have published a couple of them, but I dislike that Ingram does not do glossy pages or books in landscape. Other than going to an out-of-US country and printing thousands at a time, does anyone know of a US-based printer and distributor who will do the glossy pages and landscape without paying astronomical prices? Thanks

Yup, I am a wanna be, also. I've written several books but it's super hard to shoot through the maze and explode on the other side as----Tada! Famous Author. But hey, YOU might want to check out what I write, it is not exactly the same as anything else you've ever read. (Of course!) My books are available on Amazon. Type in Marilyn Friesen and presto! Several will come up!

Hi, everyone! My name is Julia. I'm a soon to be author, my book The Scavenger set to launch this winter. I'm excited to meet new people who share the same passions I do! My website is www.jlwillow.com -- feel free to check it out!
Greetings from the brighter side. My birth name is Scott. My pen is ScotchyJ I write every day in a notebook that I keep with me at all times. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember & it's what makes me unique. I have written 2 books that were published by a company that has since gone belly up but that's okay. Life goes on and all good writers know how to adjust. My stories are based in a city where it rains constantly and there's a detective with a fantastic sense for adventure that's no stranger to the ladies.
Hi. My birth name is Jerry. My pen is Shanon Grey. I write paranormal suspense when I'm not an IT Communications Specialist, a fancy name for tech writer/editor, which pays the bills. I will be at the AJC Decatur Book Festival, Booth 717, Sat and Sun, Labor Day weekend. I have 5 novels out, centered around Ruthorford, GA, the perfect southern town, where science and magic merge and nothing is as it seems.
I just reviewed Backwoods Boogie by Trish Jackson and loved her character Twila. I gave her a five star review. And Trish was kind enough to review my book, too. We each bought each other's kindle edition. We can really help each others, fellow authors. Let's do it! Backwoods Boogie https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071F2L73D/...

HI Diane,
I would love to read your book; however, I am reading Cameron Powell's Ordinary Magic right now for a review. My question actually pertained to help with printing companies that would print in landscape and glossy pages.
Hi, I'm John. Have been on GR for a few years now, though I can't say I've been very active a lot of the time. I enjoy getting reviews from others and oftentimes read those books. Sadly, I've been a bit lax about uploading my own reviews. Life gets in the way, I reckon. I'm about to self publish a book about my 1974 horseback ride, coast to coast from Calif. to Virginia, with my horse, Gizmo. It's titled, "Man & Horse: The Long Ride Across America", and will be available via CreateSpace, Amazon, Kindle, etc. I'll post a request for reviewers in the appropriate thread here.
I appreciate the love of books that inhabits this place. Thanks for that. --je
Hi everyone, my name is Ren. I like reading historical fiction, YA, and fantasy, but am pretty open minded about what I read. Reviewing books is pretty fun, and I just started doing book reviews on YouTube, linked below is my first review (of The Last Magician)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRt9R...
For all you folks looking to get more reviews for your books, I came upon this group recently. This should be helpful. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

A killing field. Future generations will say about Trumps Border Wall, “Had he gone MAD?" ✔️ https://www.facebook.com/rolland.love - More about Love http://tinyurl.com/y8kakux7 Warning from readers, do not read Blue Hole, River’s Edge or The Sparrow Man before going to sleep. Born Dead on a Winter’s Night is available in print and eBook.
Review by Tom Gilbert, History Teacher "Rolland Love is an excellent storyteller. He writes about his real life experiences and he writes from the heart. Funny, too, like Mark Twain. This is not just my personal opinion. I have 4 years of 5th grade students who agree from reading Rolland's fine work that he's one of the best.
Death was no stranger to Rolland growing up in a remote area of the Ozark Mountains. These scary novels are based on real life experience but they all end well one reason why they are a favorite of schools. The stories are enjoyed by all ages especially YA’s. Reviews Blue Hole http://tinyurl.com/hc5kkt4 and sequel River’s Edge http://tinyurl.com/huevet4 Even kids who don't like to read do like to read Love’s work. His latest release a coming of age memoir is a favorite of young and old. Available in print and eBook. The Reviews tell the story of how good this YA work is. http://tinyurl.com/h64jnx2 Love’s books have racked up over 1,000 five star reviews. http://tinyurl.com/y8kakux7

Hi my name is Tina Allen. I am looking for people to add reviews to Amazon and the Book Depository for my first book, published in March 2017 and entitled, Bill Gibson: pioneering bionic ear surgeon. It is the life story of an inspirational surgeon who performed some of the first cochlear Implant operations in the world. My book includes the stories of 40 deaf people whose lives have been transformed. Amazon allows you to look inside my book if you would like to read the first half a dozen chapters. I am happy to review other author's books about health and medicine as well as true life stories.

A belated "Hi Tessa" - anyone who can quote The Stones can't be all bad. I am trusting that you are not looking for sympathy!
Reviewers, I need you!I am looking for reader/reviewers who like to think about what they are reading. On offer is my The Red Grouse Tales: The Little Dog and Other Stories
which comprises four novella length tales - perhaps a bit like C S Lewis meets Jostein Gaarder & Henry James? - each of which have 4+ star average reviews on amazon.co.uk. I can be found here Leslie W P Garland on goodreads and at www.lesliegarland.co.uk where you can also find additional background info on the four tales. If this sounds like just the book for you, please mail me at lesliewpgarland@gmail.com
hey,you might be knowing me. if you forgot I am that seventeen-year-old guy who wrote this book and asked you for review.
I know your reading list is long (I am in the same situation) and it's quite difficult to keep up with everything. Especially when you're helping a crazy guy like me to grow.
Ok now, to the main point -
I am launching my first fantasy novel on 22nd September 2017. It will be FREE of cost for first two days for the readers who want to enjoy it on Amazon.
tell me if you're interested, here is something from the back -
Does it matter to have a long life to live a life?
Is it compulsory to pass days in misery, if one’s going to die in five days?
Death is evil or good?
I would never have found answers to these questions if I hadn’t had this adventure …

I am a multi-genre published author with 4 titles to my name and one more coming out. My website is www.peggylchambers.com and I'd love for you to check it out!
Joannes, I see this is a bit of an old post, but if you are still looking for people I would be happy to do the interview. I am a new author so I don't know that I have tons of wisdom to impart, but I can share what I do know.
I am new to the group and excited to get started. My name is Ande, not Dr. :)

Hello everyone,My name is Lorna Jackie Wilson. My pen name is ButterflyLornaJ. As an indie author, I have four books on Amazon & Goodreads. The genres are poetry and fiction. At this time, my book of primary focus is Black Butterfly: The Journey - The Victory. Black Butterfly is a book of poetry. Yet, this poetry is not traditional, as it often touches on topics that speak to the dark side of life. For you see, as a former foster child, I saw and experienced things that I could not speak of, much less acknowledge, especially in the 1970's. Yet, today, I am an advocate for youth; this poetry speaks to the silence of trauma, while providing hope where it doesn't appear to exist. To that end, reviews are sincerely appreciated. Kindle Unlimited customers can read free at: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Butterfl...
Hello everyone! I’m Kriti, a 16 year old student. My second book, a mystery novel called ‘Half a Sin’ is currently under publishing and is available for pre-order. My Poetry collection "Lost Stars Found" is available on Amazon. I’m brand new in this community, and still figuring out how everything works. Everybody’s work here is really impressive, and I’m hoping to get recognized as well!
Confessions of a Day Trader A new Genre #FACT AS FICTION.A truly gripping and gritty financial thriller bringing to life the psychology of trading the markets; the greed and fear produced by the stockmarket highs and lows; the Market Maker and Bankster's maniipulation of stock prices; the shocking crashes of 2000, 2001 (9/11), and 2008; the betrayal of friends in the quest for obscene wealth; relentless obsession leading to madness; and white collar crimes committed by everyday investors trying to stay afloat and the scamming Wall Street Elites in the casino-crazy world of Wall Street corruption.
PLEASE CHECK IT OUT AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR OPINION. ESPECIALLY A REVIEW. Given the financial stakes TODAY, the stock market girations that affect all our pocketbooks, its subject is most relevent.

Hello & Hi to All in the Group;I'm Walter and I write thrillers and mystery novels.
I guess in this audience that doesn't make me unique, at all. What it does do is lump me in with those that need reviews for their work.
If you have some morbid interest in how I spent the past half century, GR has shamlessly siphoned scintillating specifics & posted them in the form of my bio.
In fact, I have two needy offspring needing knowledgeable, fair & balanced reviews.
INSIDE MOVES is on GR and has suffered from my poorly planned launch. Although it has earned some high praise, it needs many more posting to attract attention. Let me know your availability and I'll get you the MS ASAP together with my undying admiration.
On the other hand, BLASTED PAST is set to launch May 15th and is currently up on Amazon and others for preorder. Wouldn't it be grand to have a few dozen 5 stars to hit launch day? Please consider reviewing a book that defies having a genre. I've called the novel a historical western with a fantasy twist. But it is so much more; the romance of two people from different centuries, the growth of a 54-year-old man who finds himself in an impossible circumstance, and the juxtaposition of life in the 21st as opposed with that of the 19th.
As the tagline says, "When your THEN becomes NOW, You have a BLASTED PAST."
The novel and its humble author would be pleased and honored to receive your review of BLASTED PAST.
Hello, all!My name is Vicki Wilkerson, and I write Southern fiction. My Summerbrook Series chronicles four girlfriends, navigating contemporary lives in a small, Southern town that is slow to catch up to the rest of the world. The Summerbrook novels are like reading Hallmark movies. I am currently working on something different--a women's fiction series set around Lake Marion in South Carolina. Thanks for the invitation!

Hi, folks, just wanted to know if you like to review children's picture books. I've published 2. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks! =D
I've been meaning to post up an intro for some time, but have been busy working on my third novel. I write historical mysteries set in eighteenth-century Austria with Joseph Haydn as the protagonist. The novels are a blend of Stephanie Barron's Jane Austen series and Emily Brightwell's Mrs. Jeffries Mysteries with their downstairs dynamic. In other words, they are a blend of historical and cozy.
The second in the series, Aria to Death, involves music authentication and the lost operas of Monteverdi. This is a new release, and I'd love to have more reviews of the work. It's available in both EPUB and Mobi formats. If you're interested in joining my review team, please email me via the contact form on my web site: http://ntustin.com
You'll also find more information on my work there. And if you're interested in Haydn's sleuthing skills, do check out this short story recently published in kings' River Life Magazine: http://kingsriverlife.com/02/10/annas...
Hello!I love to write stories packed with adventure and a touch of fantasy and/or sci-fi. My aim is to give the reader the opportunity to escape the hassles of daily life, if only for a moment. The Alien Skill Series hopes to do just that!
I have written a series of nonfiction, children's books with the goal of educating, inspiring and enlightening children and making learning about historical faces and places fun and exciting. If anyone is interested in reviewing, you can check out the whole series at http://www.LittleMissHISTORY.COM eMAIL DIRECTLY AT barbara@littlemisshistory.com
Welcome to the new world my friends. May your lives be filled with enchantment as the road to dreams, wishes fulfilled & hopes realized becomes open. This is the time.:) <3 ScotchyJ
Hello, my name is Jason, I go by the pen-name PB & Jason. I just published my first book: Lightforce, and I hope it will generate interest and perhaps receive reviews.
