Can I include books published through a publishing agency?
Yes, you can. But we must have written approval from your publisher to do so. The intention of the Romance Beckons CoOp is to assist Indie authors who don't have the help of a publishing house.
How are review requests handled?
Requests are handled by CoOp volunteers, on a case-by-case basis. Each reviewer is vetted using the following criteria: a high number of followers, genre match, quality reviews/feedback, active accounts on Goodreads or Amazon. Book bloggers that are active reviewers (i.e., have posted a review within the last week) are typically auto-approved. There are also reviewers that have been pre-approved for our group after requesting one or more titles previously. These are those frequent bloggers that we all know and love.
Can I decide who reviews my book(s)?
Yes. When authors submit their book, they also provide guidelines for handling review requests. These are considered along with the above criteria. We will accommodate different guidelines for your book, however, pre-approved reviewers are not flexible.
How do I receive my reviews?
Submitted reviews will be forwarded to the author weekly from NetGalley.RomanceBeckons.net
What if I join and it's not right for me?
Once you purchase time with the CoOp, we can't refund you should you decide you no longer want to take part. You are allowed to sell your slot to other authors. This option can also be used if you don't have need a for one of your months. Once your purchased time is up, you are not under any obligation to re-new.
I've joined this group and I'm very excited by the opportunity to get my book in front of reviewers. As a self-published author this gives me an in to the same reviewers as the big publisher houses.
