While some of the reasoning behind this is understandable, I find it frustrating. Clearly, without any "gatekeeper," to examine the quality of the writing, it is obliged write pile of utter crap in the wide range of independently published. This is to be expected. But... I hope no one is shocked by this little secret: there are bunch of utter crap in the same size area traditionally published works which no less stinks.
I'm afraid that apart from blatant illiteracy and nonsense writing quality today is so subjective than ever. The massive success of many new writers have self-published their rejected books has proved that, quite honestly, that the gates keep of gatekeepers for nobody at all. Now are there current data show that these books were rejected by large publishers have in fact a readership that is very much alive.
However, they underestimate the value of book bloggers. You can have overlooked this source of book reviews in the search sites to more established and formal review. There are tons of bloggers who only read books, of which many have a long blog site with a loyal and broad audience. Reputable book bloggers have to offer tons of value the self-published author, and as far as self-published titles for consideration to accept, you tend to better chances of pitching have a blogger than you do to find a review site.
How to set on a book blogger
Visit her blog and read a few of their reviews to familiar with her writing style and the type of books that they check. Are they checked a lot of paranormal fiction? If this is your genre, this is a good choice may be. Take a few to know, the blogger through their writing, to find out whether it makes sense to approach them with your pitch.
You read their review, because this will determine if you a chance or not. Pitch your book, not always a blogger without their review policy completely to read, to ensure that they accept books in your genre and to avoid wasting your time and their by sending an inappropriate pitch.
Keep your e-Mail pitch, short, on point, and polite. This gives you the best chance of a response that all three of those things is always, if it your book review or accept. Let is not overly promotional, were not intrusive and keep your book summary, short and concise. We recommend you leave excerpts from other reviews in your pitch. If you want a link to a page on your Web site, contains current press or media attention, which has received your book, is included in order. However, concentrated more on their imagine and gives a snapshot of what your book on.
Not provide no incentive for a review, otherwise as a free copy of the book. It is not true and believe, offer incentives for a review, the honesty and integrity of a review that will receive your book as this may jeopardise. Bloggers are not likely to take such offers friendly to everyone. The only thing you should offer them definitely is a free review copy of the book, whether in print or eBook form. Both of you have available those who prefer they make. But sure to accept eBooks you have only eBook copies of that review should be found in their policies.
If you get a "Yes" answer, you start not mail or bugging them if your contribution will be finished. As you can imagine, these bloggers get dozens of pitches every day, and you will come before the list of the other, that they have agreed to review. It is important to be patient and grateful if they show interest in the review of your book. They are busy people with life, and read books for free on their own free time, simply because they enjoy reading and their thoughts. If you specify a time frame for the review and the time came and passed, it is acceptable to send a polite request simply questions what they think your book so far whether they have a chance to begin to read it. Another acceptable form of contact can comment to other recent review that they on her blog posted, and to mention, as you look forward to hear your thoughts on your own book in the near future be. But otherwise not contact them again. Not all bloggers will end your book or want to verify it, once she have read something from him. , When it still communicates not for some time with you, and no review posted, they decided only figure likely your tracks pass. Take it personally, many bloggers like to have a policy not something to say at all there would be absolutely nothing, what they about a book. So in some cases no evaluation is better as a terribly!
Most of this stuff is pretty common sense for most people. Only use normal email etiquette and write a strong slope. Since the publication of my essay, I have my pitch to several bloggers in November 2010. I have managed it, catch up with blogs like LLBookReview, literary R & R and a few other opinions. Good luck!
