How to get Your Book Reviewed
How to Get Your Book Reviewed Imagine your book at the top of
the Best Sellers List of the New York 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 read it and review
it plus publish all the reviews on books that they have reviewed
for those who came before you. Also many publications come out
on a weekly or monthly basis instead of daily. This means that
book reviewers have a huge backlog. So the best way to get a
book reviewers to review your book, is to get them a quality
copy of your manuscript or a galley, as soon as possible. What
if your book has already been published? Is it too late to get a
book reviewer to review your book? In some cases yes and in some
no. There is an easy way to get your book reviewed without
calling it a review. Send out a press release. Create a press
release about your book and submit it to your local newspapers,
magazines and radio stations. Make it interesting. Don't just
say Mary Joe Piper has just published her newest book Babes on
Parade. Think about your story and what it can teach people.
Does it have a theme about love or friendship or settling
disputes? Use the issue in your press release. Teach people how
to solve their problems and then have the person interviewing
you mention your credits, as a published author. At that point
your book will be mentioned, you will have done them a service,
and you will have saved thousands of dollars on marketing and
query letters to editors. Here are just a few sites that you can
go to to submit your pre - publication book: Book Reviewers:
