Hi, I'm one of those who have low reviews. Would you be interested in reading a horror/thriller? It reads really fast. PDF, paperback, etc.?
Thanks,
Larry Cockerham
Horror/thrillers are fine. I just don't like the FOCUS of the story to be romantic. I'm good with .pdf, .mobi, or paperback. Whichever works best for you.
I just finished my trilogy Arcanum Faire, a comedy of sex, magick, and power tools. The last two books need reviews, though I can provide pdf, epub, or mobi files for all three for context.

Hello - nice and clear offer. My book does sound like the kind of thing you might be interested in - The Splits. There's very little romance, and it's quite hard hitting in some ways. It's a horror/sci-fi crossover with supernatural elements.
It's actually a zombie novel but the infection is kept under control, there's no apocalypse, and it's about how the characters live with this sense of imminent danger.
I can send a pdf or hard copy if you are interested.
Thank you for the post Phillip. I would greatly appreciate it if you would read and review my book which is a storybook approach to leadership and social dynamics in the workplace about an individual and the building of his company and those who worked for him with inspirational lessons in how to blend and balance work and personal areas of our lives. I can send you Mobi or PDF version if you give me an email address to send it to. Thanks again!

Would you be interested in a short, YA, urban fantasy novel called Spark of Fire?
All,Thanks for the flood of books. I have plenty to keep me busy. I've also enrolled in Kindle Unlimited because I didn't want to have to ask you for your books without you getting any compensation. Now I can at least get your pages read. If you are enrolled in KU, please feel free to list your book in this discussion. I'll add to my "to read" list if it looks like a good fit. I don't need anymore .pdf files. Thanks again for sharing. For those who have received reviews already, I hope my opinion has helped you grow and perhaps fed your egos a little. There's a lot of great undiscovered talent out there.
Phillip,Thank you for the help! My newly published book is free with Kindle Unlimited!
Please add mine to your list
It is called The Seven by Courtney Praski.

Well, if you aren't overwhelmed yet, you might be interested in my sci fi novella First Grave on Mars It's available on Kindle Unlimited. Thanks!

Supportive of your stance, Phillip. As a reader, writer and Goodreads reviewer I will emphasise the poor editorial state of many items, self-published or not.Grammatical fluency enables better reading and comprehension of the narrative. Because it is our convention.
Conventions can be overturned. This needs careful thought and a context requiring that change. We do not take readily to present tense speech as a narrative, thus it is even more difficult in wrtten form especially when transposed or suddenly interjected between more recognisable passages.
Experimental forms can be undertaken. However if sales and popularity are a goal, think carefully.
Where are all the editors and sub-readers who should assist authors in this way? Not at the publishing houses I think.
Also willing to review. Will edit.
Phillip is your service without charge?
I don’t charge. If it’s on KU and something I think I’ll like, I’ll eventually get to it.
Hi Phillip,Thank you so much for providing this service. I am looking to increase reviews of my book, Black Butterfly: The Journey - The Victory. This is a book of poetry that speaks to the silence of loss, the fight for families, and the love for foster children. It is available on Amazon and KU as well. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Butterfl...
Hi, Phillip, I have a new superhero book out called Timothie Hill and the Cloak of Power. Would love for you to review it. It's on KDP select right now, and was released just two days ago. There are no reviews. Please let me know where I can send the file, if you're interested.
Phillip, this is quite a generous offer. I'd like to toss my books in the ring, so to speak.My writing is more influenced by the old pulps and '70s action/adventure series than by current books, but you might find my Vulcana: Rebirth of the Champion and The Original Skyman Battles the Master of Steam of interest.
My work can be found at www.amazon.com/author/briankmorris

Having lived (and living) the pain of earning reviews, I found that I enjoy reading self-published books and writing reviews. Statistically speaking, 15 reviews is what it takes (at a minimum) to be the truth. I want to help authors get to this number. You may look at my previous reviews (usually around 2 pages long). I write them to help the author and hopefully earn some karma. Message me and I'll be glad to give your book a candid review. A few notes:
1. I usually read fantasy, sci-fi, or superhero novels. I do not like erotica or romance.
2. I like my books to feel real. This means violence happens, swearing happens, and not all the heroes will get to the end. I'll read books that don't have these elements, but I enjoy it more when they do.
3. I believe in being candid. If I don't like your book, I won't wrap it with compliments. My reviews follow the good, the bad, and the technical format. The technical is stuff that I feel some readers may be picky about (swearing, sex, first person perspective, present tense, etc).
I hope I can help many of you get to the ever important 15 reviews. Then you can push further to get to the real number of 50 reviews, statistically speaking.
