Book Industry Reviews: The Deets for Subscribers Only, Part Two
Who/Where/How to Submit YOUR Book to Book Industry Reviewers
Book Industry Reviewers - Pre-Publication Review Outreach
This post is for subscribers only and details book industry reviewer outreach as part of your book’s book marketing plan that I described in my previous post that kicked off the “countdown to book launch” series.
To briefly review book industry reviewer pre-publication: book industry reviewers are special book reviewers to whom you, or your publisher if you have one, can submit your book or galley or advanced review copy (ARC) well in advance of your pub date for review.
Note: A galley or ARC is your manuscript is a bound (print) or eBook format that is almost complete… complete enough for pre-publication reviewers to get a feel for your upcoming book and to do a proper review. It also can have information on the back cover or inside the cover that includes some of your marketing plan, the details on the book - pub date, price, isbn#, publisher and who to contact for more information (or where to purchase) about your book.
Essentially, a galley is a preview of your book. Have a look at the galley my publisher prepared in advance of the release of my book.
Important: If you have a traditional publisher, your publisher will decide whether to submit your book to book industry reviewers and they will do the submitting directly. Yes, the power is with the traditional publisher but isn’t it nice to know that this book marketing option is available to you? I encourage you to partner with your publisher and encourage them to submit your book to these reviewers where appropriate.
The book industry reviewer may select your book for review and if they do select your book, it will be a happy day! Below I have listed the reviewers, their websites, and how to find their submission requirements.
