Piles of PaperHi Authors!

For my next post, here is a list of 14 book review blogs (some geared towards YA and fantasy), which collectively have over 50,000 followers!

I researched about 500 book blogs and these were the ones with the most followers and current activity.

Try to contact these sites first to review your new or upcoming release for some widespread exposure.

Good Luck!

What To Have Ready To Send To The Reviewer

In an email make a polite request asking that their site review your book.

Try to personalize the message to each site.

Make sure to mark your subject line with ‘Review Request’, your name, and book title.

Include or attach:

  • Synopsis of your book
  • Short excerpt

The following may also be helpful for the reviewer:

  • Cover art in jpg format
  • Author photo in jpg format and author bio
  • Link to book website
  • Links to author’s website and/or blog
  • Link to video trailer if available

If they are interested, they will respond.

If you get a good review, ask them to post it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Also ask if you can use an excerpt of their review on your site.

Any other helpful tips out there? Let us know!
