MastersinEnglish.org Looking for Sites for Voracious Readers

Sometimes what works out for me can help you, too. In fact, that is the premise behind my Frugal Book Promoter, a book that comes entirely from tried-and-true experiences.  So here's a recent one that might be right for you:


MastersinEnglish.org wrote to tell me that my The New Book Review was selected for inclusion on their list of 100 Essential Sites for Voracious Readers. Find it at http://mastersinenglish.org/voracious-readers/#revs  They even singled out a review of a reference for emigrants and international students they thought especially good for their audience:  The review, by Donna McDine, can be found here: http://thenewbookreview.blogspot.com/2013/02/donna-m-mcdine-reviews-new-helpful-book.html

MastersinEnglish caters to English majors, or those who are considering taking their education in English literature and composition a step further, and we're putting this list together as a resource for them to find great reading material in addition to learning more about literature in general. We feel your site might make a great addition to the list.

Elizabeth Kelly says, "We're still looking for more sites to consider for inclusion, so if you know of a site you'd like to nominate, please email me at
Elizabeth@mastersinenglish.org

So there you are! Do you have a site or a blog that would fit with their mission?

  1. Carolyn, thanks for sharing. I don't think my sites would fit, but I'm sure some of your readers have sites that would.

  2. I don't know Karen. You do a lot for writers. What about your Writers On The Move blog!

  3. I thought of WOTM, but it also offers marketing information. Did they ask you for nominations, or can anyone send in a nomination?

  4. They asked me for suggestions and I said I'd pass the info along. I think they are just looking to expand their usefulness as a great resource! (-:
