Hi All, Since my book came out, I've discovered that getting book reviews is not a an easy task. I've encountered terrible requests and elaborated forms, and bluntly some reviewers that are asking for money or a paperback only to consider your review!
On the other side of the coin, NetGalley which i like as a reader, is pretty expensive for my small publisher - so unless u have a big publishing house, it will be almost impossible to list your giveaway there. Goodreads help, but the paperback giveaways does not allow you to request people to read your eBooks as well.
I worked hard to setup BookGobbler. The aim is to create a "marketplace" where giveaways are free (or symbolically charged if this turns out to be too much work) and the reviews are genuine. May I ask that you have a glance if you like giveaways: http://www.bookgobbler.com or if as authors you are willing to list a giveaway to still very thin reader base :)
Moderator, if this is not the right place or simply annoys you I do apologise, there is ZERO malintent here. Thanks all Jonathan
