Resource for Authors Needing Reviews While working on my book review strategy for a forthcoming suspense thriller, Bitter Vintage by M.L. Grider, I found a great resource for authors and publishers seeking reviews. The blog publishedtodeath.blogspot.com has lists of reviewers, from the big boys like The New York Times to bloggers who accept self-published titles and will post to Amazon.
Many of the lists have relatively current information and detail the genres and formats (print or ebook) accepted by the reviewers as well as their contact info. I encourage people to check these lists out and get back to me at kamorrissey@
