Finding Reviewers

7/11/2012

So, for those of you who are recently published authors, particularly first time authors, this may be of interest to you.  The marketing aspect of publishing, especially if you are published by a small press, can be overwhelming.  I find myself spending hours at a time searching for ways to promote If I Know It's Coming even though I know I should be, and quite honestly, would rather be, working on the next book.  I am real excited about the next project but I have been stuck on p. 65 for about a month it seems.  

Lately I have found myself searching the web for reviewers of YA books.  I guess people have to actually like your book for others outside of your immediate family to buy the thing!  And not only do they have to like it, but they have to make that opinion public, so that everyone else can see the review, go buy the book, and then voice their opinion (hopefully a positive one).  There are a million YA blogs out there and it is next to impossible to sort them all out.  I have tried narrowing the searches down to YA blogs focusing on male characters and military subject areas, but that hasn't yielded many results, unfortunately.  I will keep trying and if anyone out there is having the same issues, please feel free to chime in here with suggestions or just basic random venting, which is basically what I am doing here.  And by the way, if you happen to do YA reviews and are reading this, wanna review If I Know It's Coming?
