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.

Great list, parchmentgirl. Thanks for posting.
As bad as it can get, it is even worse if you are trying to find legitimate, respectable ebook reviewers. I have waged this battle for over a year. As an unknown with a 650 page volume, there is no chance of being published. Ebooks are my only recourse. I hope you might note those who will consider reviewing digital books. Regards.
My blog is also new though I have been reviewing my reading at Goodreads.com for a while. I'm happy to review ebooks, since I live in Australia most people are reluctant to post hard copies to me anyway. I have written some guidelines http://bookdout.wordpress.com/would-you-like-a-review/
Feel free to contact me

Thanks!!!
I review books that are self published. The only stipulations I have is nothing highly sensual or erotic, sci-fi or witchcraft/devil worshiping.
I also left a message on your book blogs page

I'm happy to read self-published books as long as it's something that appeals to me and fits with my blog (which is mostly YA).

Feel free to add me to the list: janestoryblog.blogspot.com

I review mostly self pub. or indie books at my book review blog. http://www.bitsyblingbooks.com

I do not charge for reviews. Please visit and check out other books I reviewed to see if your book would benefit from my site. I do not review non-fiction or poetry.
