#bookreviewers — Public Fediverse posts

Hive Mind, help me out! My publisher and I are brainstorming a list of #BookReviewers to send advance copies of Tales from Rugosa Coven. What review sources do you use to find #fantasy, #ScienceFiction, and #PaganBooks? All platforms and media welcome. What are some good bookish folks on #WitchTok, and witchy folks on #BookTok.

And in that spirit, I have decided that I will no longer be trying to coax #bookbloggers and #bookreviewers to look at my #books. I reached out to the ones who had already agreed to review my latest #novel, and have withdrawn my request.

The time I have already spent sending out press releases and requests to review my book, could have been far more productively used to #write more #shortstories.

I will announce new stories or books here, but I no longer give a fig about reviews

I know #bookreviews are a gateway to being in #library holdings, and that #librarians use reviews as a gauge of how much #readership a #book might enjoy, but like I decided that querying literary magazines was a waste of time, I'm rapidly approaching the point at which I will say the same about ##bookreviewers and ##bookbloggers

I'm sure this works for many other #writers, and other #writersofmastodon may find it worth the time, but I'm not seeing the value vs spending that effort #writing

Spent most of today looking at articles on what #bookblogging is and what #bookbloggers do. Also about how #writers and #authors should engage with them, and how this forms part of a #writerslife and the broader #writingcommunity

I have reached out to #bookreviewers and bloggers, but now that I've taken a closer look, I think I'm out. The amount of time and effort this would take away from actually #writing is far too big

I have a small number of people who more or less eagerly take my ARCs, but that's really my beta-readers. I think they like the #books and in return for a free book, they give me edits and sensitivity feedback.

I'm not sure I have my head around the point of #bookreviewers or #bookbloggers in this picture, but I'm starting to feel like I care if they help #readers who would naturally like my writing to find my books, but that I actually DGAF what the reviewer or blogger thinks

Which brings me to the final lap

Not all #writing is appealing to all #readers. People want different genres (itself a hot mess) different topics, different styles, and will tolerate or demand different levels of editing stringency.

The best a writer can do is find the audience for whom the content, style, and level of editing is satisfying.

The best thing you #bookbloggers #editors #bookreviewers can do to help, is to connect those two groups. Help #readers find their #writers

Dear #bookbloggers #bookreviewers

As a #writer and #author, there are a few things of which I would like to remind you.

Firstly, covers, titles, blurbs are seldom under full control of the #author, if at all. If they went through a traditional publisher, even less so.

But this is the least of it.

The entire publishing industry, which includes you, is a nasty, predatory, and exploitative machine that sucks #writers in, chews them, and often dumps their corpses

#bookblogger #bookreview

Dear #writer #author #writingcommunity

What is your thinking on #bookreviews?

Do you seek and solicit #bookreviewers and #bookbloggers?
If so, do you look for ones that fit your genre or some other criterion, or just do it broadly?
Do you engage with them socially or just toss a press release over the wall?

Once your book is reviewed, do you go look?
If you go read your review, what do you do with that?

#bookstodon

If you like your literary fiction with gorgeous prose and more than a touch of horror, grab Lynn Hutchinson Lee's ORIGINS OF DESIRE IN ORCHID FENS. There are just 6 review copies left on Book Sirens!

The book is also currently on Netgalley, till the end of the month.

This fabulous book is all about the films that don’t get invited to dinner when they’re celebrating British Cinema.
