I provide Book Reviews via a monthly promotional post called the "Monthly Gem", which is featured on my Writer's Journal Blog.
Authors/Writers who are eligible:
-You must have *something* published (recently or pending): Books or novellas. I see no point in endorsing you if my viewers don’t have anywhere to go buy/read your stuff. It would be nice if you were promoting something specific (new book in exciting series, first book publication, book now available in paperback after an initial eBook run, things of that nature). If you are an author who hasn’t published anything in 5 years and nothing is pending, I am unlikely to endorse you as the Monthly Gem.
-I have a preference for Indie authors (ebook only, self-published, small press authors etc), Newly publish authors (indie or traditional), or any other form of non-traditionalist will do. I will consider traditionalists too, just because I don’t want to be exclusive.
-I will not endorse anyone until I read some of their works first. It can be a book or novella. Not sure about short stories and graphic novels/comic books…I will have to consider these on a case by case bases. I have issues with them.
-Whatever you want me to read needs to be print/publish-ready (I will ignore a few typos, but if it is riddled with mistakes and there are major lapses in logic to the story, I will decline to promote it. Ex. I once read a book where the main hero’s name changed halfway through it. Bad editing. Have your friends proof it, hire a professional copy editor, but please do whatever you need to do, so I can read it without getting a headache.
There are submission guideline that specify what genres that I accept and what to expect from the Monthly Gem promotion. This is a free service. However, I am selective about what I read so, I do not accept *every* book that is presented to me.
