Dear Publishers,
We are writing to you today to inform you about our new website representing the book market. We have several freelance writers on board who are reviewing books every month. We want to review books from any category – if we don’t have that category on our web site, then we’ll add it…
We have chosen a selection of books that we’d like to review and/or advertise on our website. Please send this selection of books along with press releases, and others – we have unlimited space and will include every book you can send…
Can you please send review books (I’ve included a list of several that are of interest – but this does not exclude others) to our company – we have a children’s book review writer (Theresa Smith); religious/spiritual book review writer (Rev. Jackie Meeks – Calvary Abundant Life Tabernacle); romance book and drama review writer (Brandie Owens); romance book, and historical fiction (Tina Gibbs); other genres, Marjorie Bull (fiction), and last but not least I will be reviewing the following categories: all nonfiction and new releases ON WRITING and other nf topics. My reviews will be publicized on several websites:
THE WRITER’S NOTEBOOK
http://writersnotebook.homestead.com

ARKLATEX WRITER’S CIRCLE

THE BOOK RACK

EVERY BOOK that is sent to us will be publicized – send a press release kit along with review book and we’ll also include a business card size (2 x 4) free of charge for your company that will remain on our site as long as we’re publicizing your books and your company. It will be set up in such a way that readers can click on your ad and it links directly to your website.
Send all books for publicizing to:
THE BOOK RACK
