Indie Book Reviewers Post Your Blog Link Here!

[Christy Pinheiro]

As an author and book reviewer myself, I've had a difficult time getting book reviews for my self-published books. Some reviewers are even downright rude about it. So I started an online list of reviewers that accept self-published books. The best of these is POD People and The Midwest Book Review, both of them are highly respected and the "Big Fish" in the self-publishing world. Neither accepts a fee to review. None of the reviewers on the list below are fee-charging.

So far I've spent about 80 hours (now) hundreds of hours putting this list together. Every reviewer on this list has agreed to accept (or focuses exclusively on) Self-Published Books. Contact me if you want to add a reviewer to the list. It has to be a reviewer that is currently accepting submissions.

Please post your blog link if you are willing to review indies and small press authors. I will contact you and you can also be included in the small press "yellow pages" that we are working on. I've uploaded the reviewer questions in a word doc.

I have left you a comment on your bookblogs page about becoming an addition to the list. I always like to support new and current authors to get their work out there. Great list you have so far!

[Jaime Huff]

You can definitely add me to the list. http://booknerdextraordinaire.blogspot.com I won't do ebooks, christian/religious books, financial, and self help. I will read most genres, really, it just depends on the topic! My email addy is [e-mail]

I am just curious, what are the reasons that people don't want to review self published books?

I am not picky, as long as the book sounds like something I will like, I will read it!

There's a stigma with POD and self published books. Some of it is justified. Poor quality, etc. But it's where a lot of big names get their start. The Chicken Soup for the Soul books were all self published at first.

I feel I should have known that about the "Chicken Soup" books -- but I had no idea. That's very interesting. Who'da thunk it...

Hi Joe,
Would you like to review my book, Lifetimes Ago-A Love Story Inspired From Past Life Memories? Check it out @ www.lifetimesago.com

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

[William Bentrim]

I am going to check out your list, thank you. I got several review by posting in this forum and asking for blog reviews. I'm not selling books hand over fist but I am generating sales outside of my own family. LOL

[Christy Pinheiro]

Good for you!! The book looks great. Reviews sell books. There's no doubt about that.

Hi Joseph, I checked your blog for your submission guidelines and I didn't see them in any obvious place. Maybe you should consider posting your guidelines and preferred method of contact right on the "About Joseph's Reviews" page, or post a dedicated page just for submission information. That's what a lot of reviewers do. I sent you an e-mail so you can just respond to me that way, too.

I tried posting this to you wall without success so I'll post it here instead lol

You can add me to the list of reviewers. My blog is My Life In Not So Many Words

I ask to be contacted first. Mostly you just have to ask, if it's a book I don't think would be my taste I would let you know. I would never turn away someone just because they are self published. I should note ebooks are not an option for me. I don't know why I can sit and do computer stuff all day but try and read a book and I just can't.
