Book Marketing- Online Book Reviews
Amazon is not the only source for finding book reviewers.There are dedicated book review sites (some who also conduct author interviews).
These are genre-focused sites that also do book reviews.
It just takes a little research. Check the links section of each of the sites you visit; they often have links to other review sites. For our avid readers out there who are interested in writing book reviews and submitting them to various review sites, have a look in my resource compilation below.
I will also note which sites accept outside reviewer submissions or are seeking reviewers for their staff.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. Think of it as a little jump start to get you going. It’s up to you to market your book.
