We\u2019re still talking about how to get many reviews for your fiction or nonfiction book. Here are three more ideas:<\/p>\n
1: Locate appropriate publications and websites and ask for a review<\/b>. You probably have magazines in your genre or topic on your own book shelves. Start there. Scan magazines at your local library and bookstores. Study Writer\u2019s Market<\/i> to find additional magazines related to your book\u2019s theme. Do a Google search to locate even more magazines and newsletters. Here\u2019s a link to one newsletter directory. http:\/\/www.newsletteraccess.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Likewise, there are hundreds of online review sites. Seek out those related to the theme\/genre of your book. Here is an online review directory to get you started: http:\/\/www.acqweb.org\/bookrev.html<\/a><\/p>\n 2: Contact appropriate reviewers with your review package. <\/b>I suggest sending a query\/introduction letter or email asking if you can submit your book to them for review. Include some quality promo material related to your book\u2014in particular, a color cover image. Some magazine websites post book review submission guidelines. Adhere to them.<\/p>\n If you are invited to send the book, package it carefully along with your brochure, promo postcard, business cards and a cover letter. In the letter, remind the book reviewer that they requested the book for review. Be sure that your contact information is included.<\/p>\n Most online review sites offer a submissions page. Follow the instructions there.<\/p>\n 3: Keep accurate records.<\/b> Log every review package and book that goes out\u2014when, to whom and be sure to log the contact information.<\/p>\n After two or three weeks, if you have not heard from a reviewer who requested your book, contact him\/her and ask if they received the book and when they have it scheduled for review.<\/p>\n Unless your book is seriously obscure, you should be able to land book reviews in dozens of publications. And the book doesn\u2019t have to be hot off the presses. Maybe you neglected to solicit book reviews when the book was fresh. Don\u2019t let that stop you from trying to get some publicity now. Go ahead and contact appropriate book reviewers. If it is a worthwhile book, most of them will say, yes.<\/p>\n How much will this cost you? Absolutely nothing! It is a rare reviewer that will charge for a book review in a magazine or newsletter. Sure, there are book review site where they charge. There are publications devoted to book reviews that charge. But, magazines and newsletters that include a book review section, rarely charge for a book review. They offer them as a service to their audience.<\/p>\n In the meantime, visit my websites: http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com<\/a> \u00a0and check out my array of books for authors. Download a free copy of my ebooklet, \u201cHow to Establish Your Author Platform.\u201d http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a><\/p>\n The reviews for my novels are coming in like crazy. Some are wonderfully flattering, others not so much. A review is just an opinion, after all. It\u2019s a shame when someone publicly reviews a book that is not exactly their cup of tea. Sigh. But it does happen. Asking for a review can be a crap shoot. Check out all three novels from my Klepto Cat Mystery series, Catnapped, Cat-Eye Witness <\/i>and Sleight of Paw<\/i>. They\u2019re all on Kindle at Amazon.com. If you love mysteries involving interesting cats\u2014or you\u2019re curious about my novels and don\u2019t have a Kindle, you can purchase Catnapped<\/em> in print at http:\/\/amzn.to\/14OCk0W<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re still talking about how to get many reviews for your fiction or nonfiction book.
