How to book review + email publishers
Hello Bookish Friends!
I have been receiving lots of questions regarding how to receive free books for review and how to ask an author for a copy of their book. Look no further here is my guide to requests! Also quick reminder to be on the lookout for a giveaway on my Instagram starting November 15th! I will be giving away a Barnes & Noble gift-card to one of my followers. @cynsbooks
Requesting
Here is an example email you can send. Most authors don't give out there personal email but they do often leave a contact opinion on their website. So be sure to have a professional looking email and a website and/or blog to post reviews on.
Example Email.
To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to request a copy for review of "Book Title" (Insert ISBN- 10: ) I have read the brief summaries of your book and I think it would be a great fit for my readership.
*Include summary of your blog*
http://prettypoetryprincess.wixsite.com/cynywrites is a book and review website designed for readers who anticipate to buy books that have not been reviewed yet. This website features reviews and posts almost daily. It is written and managed by me.On Saturdays, are my book review challenge days were I have the readers suggest books for me to review and recently "Book Title" *If applicable*
Below are two examples of reviews I have written for other books:
Eleanor & Park; http://prettypoetryprincess.wixsite.com/cynywrites/single-post/2017/02/23/Eleanor-Park-book-review
Nonsense; http://prettypoetryprincess.wixsite.com/cynywrites/single-post/2017/02/11/Nonsense-Book-Review
If you would like to send a copy of the book for review, please send it to:
*Name, Insert Address etc. "
If you include some publisher contact information I will of course alert you when I have written the review.
Thank You, C.y
