Dan Poynter Makes Getting Reviews a Cinch

Reviews at online bookstores sell books. Here is a way to ask fellow authors and publishers to review your book at Amazon.com, B&N.com, and other websites.

In Dan Poynter's newsletter, Publishing Poynters Marketplace, you may post requests for stories for the book you are writing, request help wanted for specific projects, list companies or rights you want to buy or sell, and offer review copies to other authors and publishers willing to post a review at Amazon.com and B&N.com. There is no charge for listing your book.

Look over a current issue of the ezine by going to http://parapublishing.com/sites/para/resources/newsletter.cfm
Scroll down and click on the most recent issue of the Marketplace. Better still, subscribe to Dan's letter.

Double check the ParaReviews section to see how the book review process works and read the submission instructions. Then send your request and description to DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com. Describe the book in a few words. Potential reviewers only need enough information to see if they have expertise and an interest in your category. Include a jpg image of the cover.

And, as Dan (and I) always say, "Please send your submission ready for a simple "copy and paste" process. In other words, send it exactly as you'd like to see it appear, following the guidelines exactly. (-:
