Writers - Where to get your book reviewed

[Prue]

FINALLY... I have time to sit down and read all this glorious information that *grinds teeth* will send me back out on the hard graft of marketing again and just when I am 72,000 words into the WIP. Ah well, never mind. Thanks so much to everyone who is so generous with all their info. It's the kind of thing that makes the indie-world a lot less daunting.

Hmm, interesting. Just tried to go there twice and was told the page doesn't exist.

[Seb]

Yes, that link seems to have expired. The transience of the internet....

Because of the rapidly changing nature of the book review media outlets, it's best to do a Google search for them or simply to contact newspapers in the area in which you seek exposure. No need to spend the money.

Daunting but informative. Thanks, everyone.

My book When Dreams are Calling is released!



Genre: Chick-lit, Inspirational, Humor.
Pages: 207
Format: Kindle

Book Description:
Inspired by a true story, When Dreams are Calling is a powerful mixture of adventure, travel and reflections that will redefine your idea of courage while making you laugh all the way.
The main character, Dora, is a witty young woman who chases her dreams across continents, from Europe to America, then to Asia, and finally, to the far away shores of Australia.
We see the changes she goes through, the price she pays for following her dreams, but also the rewards she gets on the way. Her life is a roller coaster and her plan is nothing more than the confidence that everything will work out for the best.
The story is filled with magical words of wisdom that will inspire and delight you, while making you reflect on the beauty of friendship, lust, love and kindness.
“Words have power, dreams have power, we have power” is the motif which echoes all through this enthralling novel that bursts with optimism.

Hi, I'm hoping to find indie reviewers for my memoir on mental illness, "The Death of Me." It's being published as an ebook September 12th. I realize its short notice; its ok if you post the review after the publication date. I'd like to have the review posted on my facebook author page, my author website, and goodreads.

Synopsis of "The Death of Me":

"The Death of Me" is a true coming of age story of a young girl’s fight with with her traumatic past having to do with bullying, Anorexia, Bulimia, LGBT issues, and Bipolar Disorder, all of which take her on a frightening ride through years of madness and dozens of hospitalizations. She must ultimately come face to face with the monster she created - or die. In the end, it is her own righteous indignation with her illness that urges her to break free.

Hi, I've just published my first audiobook, TAKE NO MORE, with ACX.com and was pleased to find that they provide a number of free download codes to both author and narrator, mainly with the intention of furthering reviews of the audiobook on the audible.com and audible.co.uk sites.

This is worth knowing about, I think.

And, by the way, if anyone here is interested, I could make one of those free codes available if you contact me via my web page http://sebkirby.com
