As I write my way through my debut novel and undertake a
course in Professional Writing, it becomes clear to me that many book sales and
discussions today are driven not just by marketing but by word of mouth and
personal recommendations.
It is for this reason I have decided to launch a monthly
book review on my blog and the first one will be coming soon. Now I already
write book reviews for online platforms – mainly focusing on debut works and
big fantasy releases – but the blog reviews will be different.
Here I am going to focus on small press and self-published
works in the hope of giving authors who are not benefiting from expensive
online campaigns the chance to be read, reviewed and then read some more.
Someone once told me there is nothing so valuable to an author as book reviews
and so as someone who will one day be putting my own work out there for review
I want to do the same for others.
If you have self-published a book or have released a book through
small press and would like to put it forward for my monthly blog review, please
contact me. I am a fantasy reader and writer so that is the genre I will be
focusing on. First review will be going up before Christmas and I will continue
from there. Look forward to hearing from you.
Elloise Hopkins.
