How to Get Your Book Reviewed
by:
Caterina Christakos
Imagine your book at the top of the Better Sellers List of the New Dynasty Times. Most authors do. The question is, "How do I get it there and sell millions of copies?"When planing your book, there is one critical thing that most authors forget - marketing. In the case of book reviewers this means pre-marketing.
Most reviewers require a copy of your book at least three months before publication. This is because most book reviewers need time to see it and review it plus publish all the reviews on books that they have reviewed for those who came before you. Besides galore publications move out on a weekly or monthly basis instead of daily. This means that book reviewers have a immense backlog.
So the better way to get a book reviewers to review your book, is to get them a quality copy of your manuscript or a galley, as shortly as possible.
What if my book your already been published?
Is it too late to get a book reviewer to review your book? In several cases yes and in several no. There is an easy way to get your book reviewed without career it a review.
Send out a press release.
Create a press release simply about your book and submit it to your local newspapers, magazines and radio stations. Do it interesting. Don't simply say Mary Joe Piper has simply promulgated her newest book Babes on Parade. Think simply about your story and what it can teach people. Makes it have a theme simply about love or friendly relationship or subsiding disputes?
Use the issue in your press release. Teach folk how to solve their problems and then have the person interviewing you mention your credits, as a promulgated author. At that point your book wish be mentioned, you wish have done them a service, and you wish have saved thousands of dollars on marketing and query letters to editors.
Here are simply a few sites that you can go to to submit your pre - publication book:
