“Knowing your genre is the key thing when seeking reviews. You need to know who your target audience is and where they look for reviews, and target those sites. When looking at potential review sites look at how often they post, where they post, their layout, the genre(s) they review and which books they give what ratings to. This can provide you with a good indication of whether a review from that site will be of use to you in promoting your work.”

I am now signed with Rachel Vogel from Moveable Type Literary Group. She’s wonderful, and she’s currently shopping The Overtaking as well as Not What She Seems to editors.”

“I’m a big fan of old-school sci-fi, and how they would riff on a future technological advancement and show all the terrible and amazing consequences it could have while still saying something about today’s world.”
