Getting Your Book Reviewed
Review Queries
If you’re just looking for a quality reviews, you might just want a Review Request done. So many authors are weary from their query travels. Their fingers are cracked and bleeding from the review queries they manually sent out to a million and one This includes the reading and reviewing of one book (additional books can be added for an additional price for situations such as books in a series). The way the review queries works is that you provide the mobi or epub and we pass it out to our list of bloggers. They are given a certain number of months to complete the review. From there, we just wait until shortly before their time period has expired and IF needed, remind them that the link to the review is due so it can be passed on to you.
The difference between this and a virtual book tour is that bloggers enjoy the flexibility of a several month timeframe to read and post a review of your book, as opposed to having a review posted on a particular day they’ve committed to. However, one must be cautioned that the review most likely will blend in with their other reviews, unlike with the virtual book tour.
With a review query, we allow you to decide how long you’d like to give reviewers to read and post a review. Please know that the amount of time you set will determine how many bloggers might participate.
Just as with any of the books we ask of our bloggers to read, the review will be honest – which doesn’t always equate to a positive review. In addition to their blog, the review will also be posted on any of the additional sites they post on (will vary based on blogger).
A Review Query can be a standalone service, or combined with another option. Review queries begin at $25 for one month and increase in price the longer an author requests the review to be out. Because with the review query there isn’t a schedule as to when the review will be posted, the blogger is asked to contact us via email with the link of where the review can be seen, which will be forwarded to you.
Read Requests
Please note that a read request is neither a review query nor a blog tour.
A Read Request is something a bit different that we’re offering our authors. It is actually two-fold because not only does it allow you to advertise your book, but also to possibly receive reviews in the process.
We have a special section of our site for Read Requests where we will list your book for a period of time designated by you, a minimum being one month. Prices begin at $10/month.
What will occur with the read request is that your book cover with a brief synopsis will be listed on our site. If a reader requests it, we provide it for them in exchange for an honest review that will not only be posted on both of our sites and all of our social media sites, but will also be posted by the reviewer where they post reviews – which will be a screened requirement (minimum of 2 sites required).
Please know that we will screen requesters so that only serious requesters receive book copies. In addition, any requester will be required to electronically sign a statement that states they will not share the book with anyone under penalty of copyright law.
