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.

Lynda, great blog site, it's been added-- thank you for making your submission guidelines so clear, I wish everyone would do that. Please check your listing for accuracy. I can change it if you want to add or remove something.

I have also e-mailed you our questionnaire, if you want to be included in our Blogger "yellow pages".

Christy, I just suggested your list to a group of indie authors I know. And as I was looking it over, I didn't see myself listed. I do Rock and Roll fiction primarily.
Susan, what is your blog URL? Go ahead ahead and post it and I will add you to the list.

Christy
Okay, that's weird. I remember adding it. I've got a killer migraine today, but it's not THAT bad.

Hi Susan;
Thanks! You've been added to the list, please check the listing for West of Mars Rocks N' Reads for accuracy:

Thanks, darling! Looks fantastic.

We ought to see if we can knock heads and get some coordination going with Win a Book at West of Mars, too. I post links to giveaways, interviews with authors, and guest blog posts written by authors. Links can be sent in by authors or by the blog host, but they MUST be about books. (I do not, however, link to reviews, or I'd do nothing but post links all day!)
I have no problem review a self published book. I am new at the book blog thing but I am working on it and plan to get it really good if possible, so I have no problem reading something that was self published.

You can add us to the list, www.thebluebookcase.blogspot.com

We are a bit picky, but will consider books that fit our interests. Not interested in romance, paranormal, fantasy, etc.
Added! Thanks for that. I also sent the questionnaire to the e-mail on your blog.
