Does anyone know any good places that will do free book reviews on my new book I'm about to publish?

Question

My book, A Girl's Answers For Everything, is about to be published and will be released in about September of 2006 and I need some free book reviews because I need to promote, market, and spread the word about my book. I have dreams right now of being a best-selling author and to have that happen, I need all the promotion and exposure I can get. Does anyone know any good places that will do free book reviews on my new book I'm about to publish? And does anyone else know any good free places to market and promote my book, A Girl's Answers For Everything? Thanks so much.

Answer 1

If you are self-publishing, check out the pros at http://www.BooksJustBooks.com . I have worked with several authors that used their services. They are great. Sign up for their free e-zine.



Reviews - Talk to all of your past teachers, they would love to. Talk to relatives, they would love to. Once your book is available, then seek reviews from various organizations.

Depending on the content and age groups you are targeting, you might want to contact local BOYS and GIRLS clubs, and do presentations there, or other groups such as the Girl Scouts, homeschooling groups and non denominational church youth groups. It sounds like you self- published, because if it were published by a major Publishing house, they would have marketed it for you. If you do a search for FREE WEBSITES you can get one and register it with the major search engines. I think that if you want to be a major writer, you have to pay your dues and get out there and market it yourself. You could also "SHOP IT" around, going to the different major book-labels and pitching it to them, in hopes that they will buy it. Check with your local bookstores and children's/teens clothing stores to see if you can have an "event". If it were me, I'd advertise the event on local radio and in newspapers- call it something like a GIRL"S DAY OUT or something, and at the event, you tell about the book, and then have a couple of games taht go along, give door prizes, and let the girls ask you whatever they want, or have them write their questions on index cards, anonymously, go through all the cards one by one asking the whole group for their opinions, like a discussion. Take notes of waht the girls say and keep the questions, that's whre you get your second book.

1st ingredient, overlook your mom and dad and choose for it! I merely wrote a e book final year - and finished this year having merely became fourteen. i like writing and the human beings I even have shown it to declare that they like it (and have confidence me in the event that they did no longer they could tell me - i choose grievance) yet besides - try Media industry place, Publishers, i'm unsure in case you would be waiting to acces it because of the fact I have been given the record from a pal yet all you quite could do is deliver your e book to a writer, and anticipate a respond. a million - locate a writer that publishes your type - do no longer deliver to a text fabric e book and photographs writer in case you have a young person sci-fi e book 2 - in the past you deliver in, locate out how your writer likes their manuscripts, on disk, on paper, first 2 chapters... 3 - locate out the guidelines of 'manuscripting' - double spacing, identify website, indenting paragraphs there is a lot YOU"VE have been given TO DO , and it sucks i be attentive to. i finished writing final year and have been enhancing and discovering for roughly 4 and a nil.5 months - yet good success, you're my opposition... = )

Answer 4

All book reviews are free, if you paid for a good book reveiw it would equal an advertisement. When you're publishing a book, you send "review copies" to media who would promote your book. If its a business book, send it to a business magazine or publication of a business association. It sounds like yours is a childrens or teen book. Send it to a review magazines like School Library Journal, Book Lists, Voya, Kliatt. These magazines review and rate books regularly. Librarians , teachers and retailers rely on their recommendations.These sources give good and bad reviews. If you are self publishing (and I've given this advice often) please please please invest in a professional editor.

Answer 5

Your book title says a lot but I can see you don't have the answer to this question, Nothing is for free, that should be your first chapter, you'll pay one way or another, Do you think someone goes to an office, market, and promote your book for free? so you go out, make all that money, become a best seller and that someone gets nothing? pleaseeeee. give me a brake

Answer 6

Any / many grad student(s) in the English/ Lit dept. will do your book reviews and submit them for publication--free of charge. Just go to the nearest college (one that offers a PhD/ Master's program in English).

Answer 7

I have a book review site, and I'd be happy to review your book if you can provide me with a copy of the book for reviewing purposes.
