How to Get Books from Bostick Communications + Reviewing for Bostick 101

A lof of book bloggers just started receiving emails from Bostick automatically with offers of books for review. However you can get on their list yourself by going to their website: http://www.bostickcommunications.com/ and contacting them. Just explain that you are a book blogger and provide your url and mention that you'd like to be included in their mailing list.

You may or may not receive a message back saying you're on the list. You probably won't know until you start receiving emails. All you have to do to ask for a review copy of a book is reply to the email with your mailing address (and I always include my blog url). I usually add a short sentence like: "I would love to review this book." I don't know if this is necessary. You will NOT get a reply. You may or may not receive the book.

Please note that although it looks like the offers are from the book authors, they are all from the same email address as Bostick.. So save any papers that come with your book if they have the author's email so you can alert them when their review is up or ask any questions. If you want to inquire about an interview or giveaway or anything else, use the contact info that came with the book first. If nothing came, then reply to the original offer message and ask that they forward the email on.

Comment by Anysia on October 30, 2008 at 7:07pm: I don't know about anyone else, but I just started getting the Bostick Communications e-mails one day out of the blue. If you're not on the list and you want to see the offers, there is a thread on LibraryThing where members post them for all to see.

Comment by AmyAileen on October 30, 2008 at 4:26pm: I haven't received any ARCs from Bostick, but I have a question. How did you get on the list to receive emails from them? I'm starting out with my book blog, and I'm looking for books to review, but I don't know where to go. Any help?

Comment by Bobbie Crawford-McCoy on October 27, 2008 at 4:14pm: I received an e-mail from her today too. It is really unfortunate that they don't ship to Canada, but what can you do?

I have so many books to review and still more on the way thanks to Miriam & Valerie so its ok :-)

I have 4 giveaways going on my blog right now so make sure you enter at Book Reviews By Bobbie.

Comment by cindysloveofbooks on October 27, 2008 at 4:05pm: Yea the publisher won't ship to Canada she said. Which is really to bad for them. That sounded like a really good book. I also went for the picture books for my son. I got one book today from the rep it wasn't one i thought it was going to be I must have miss read the description of the book. Oh well its on the bookslef for me to read later.

Comment by Bobbie Crawford-McCoy on October 26, 2008 at 8:34pm: Oh shoot! I asked for that one too.

Comment by Callista on October 26, 2008 at 7:24pm: I chose all the picture books because I just don't have time for any other books right now and they weren't that interesting to me. However the one picture book I really wanted (the animal one) won't ship to Canada!

Comment by Bobbie Crawford-McCoy on October 24, 2008 at 9:09pm: LOL ;-)
Don't you just love that Callista? haha

Comment by Callista on October 24, 2008 at 8:05pm: Well I was contacted today by that same PR person. Just because I said I hadn't been. LOL.

Comment by Bobbie Crawford-McCoy on October 23, 2008 at 7:36pm: I was contacted today by a PR rep. too.
