S. Kaeth (skaeth) | 14 comments Hey all! I hope this is a good place for this.

I run indiestorygeek.com which is designed to help readers find great indie reads that they'll enjoy. Since readers have many different tastes, we have a visual rating system across a few different categories, which then uses math magic to generate a "story shape". Each book links back to Goodreads and/or Amazon, as well, so readers can see star-ratings and perhaps pick up the book to read.

If you're an indie author and would like more visibility, you can upload your book there. You can also choose if you'd like to provide verified reviewers with free review copies (all done on the IndieStoryGeek site).

If you're a reviewer and you've read an amazing indie book, you can also make a listing for that book on IndieStoryGeek. The author can claim their listing later if they choose to.

If you're a reviewer and would like more indie books to read, we'd love to have more verified reviewers! All we ask is that in addition to your normal review process, you fill out our simple visual review system on IndieStoryGeek (for small press, self-pub, or webserial reads only). You can leave a brief review and link back to your own site for the full-length review.

E.B. Roshan | 30 comments Thanks for the offer! I'm a new author looking for more readers, and a reviewer who likes to support new authors, so I'll definitely check it out.

I've added mine as well. Looks like an interesting service.

S. Kaeth (skaeth) | 14 comments Awesome! If you're like me and read a lot of indie books too, feel free to review them there as well!

E.B. Roshan | 30 comments So I added my books (fun to see them there!) but I wasn't able to figure out how to download ARCs to read and review, or submit my own books to others for review. Can you help? Sorry if it's actually incredibly easy...I'm a bit technologically dense sometimes.

S. Kaeth (skaeth) | 14 comments No worries! So when you go to your books' pages, there should be a button there for you, asking if you want to provide a review copy. All you have to do is hit that button and follow the instructions.

If you want to sign up as a reviewer, there's a link at the top for Book Bloggers--there are instructions on that page to become a verified book blogger. Only verified book bloggers can see review copies and only if you're logged in.

S. Kaeth (skaeth) | 14 comments If you're doing Indiecember, it's super easy to review the books you read on IndieStoryGeek.com. There are nearly 500 books to browse, and we're looking for more reviewers to partner with--you can link back to your blog for the full review, while using the visual review system at IndieStoryGeek.

Samuel Yaw (yawjianfong) | 15 comments I have added Mockingston Faire to your database, so I will provide more readers with some copies.

I hope Unicorn Farmhand and Hajogana (my first and third novels) will also find success there. Thank you for this glorious website!
