| Posted By : Vivian - 2/12/2008 1:03 AM | I've a mystery/suspense novel that will be released this year, but I need some pre-release reviews. Anyone know some one who might be interested in reading the manuscript and writing one?

Remember, you are doing THEM a favor. if you print their blurb in your book, they get free publicity with ever copy of it that sells.

| Posted By : Vivian - 2/12/2008 2:56 PM | Oh, I'm asking; I'm asking. At least I have one rather notable author reading the manuscript; two turned me down, nicely.
Others have told me to ask other people, that they don't do burbs except for well-known authors or authors through major publishing companies.
I'll be at two book events in April and May. I'll ask there, but that really puts the scheduled release in danger.

Of course, I realize that people, including me, don't always get what they want, and often get what they do NOT want. *laugh*
