Our resource book lists ONLY book reviewers that will accept self-published and POD books. No more time wasted trying to get book reviews, only to hear, "Oh, we don't accept self-published books."

No reviewer or website has paid a fee to be listed in this resource. There are nearly a hundred book reviewers in this reference, and all of them have agreed to accept self-published books. Each listing details the individual book reviewer's:

In addition, all the reviewers are rated for quality and influence. The longer a reviewer has been posting reviews, and the more followers they have, the higher the site ranking.

5.0 out of 5 stars For indie writers, this is INDISPENSABLE, April 26, 2011

This review is from: The Indie Book Reviewer Yellow Pages: A Reference Guide for Self-Published Authors and Small Publishers (Kindle Edition)

It started out as a simple (but ingenious) question on Book Blogs: "Problems Getting Reviewed?" It had been posted by one of the Book Bloggers, Christine Pinheiro-Silva, who was wondering if other indie authors were finding it difficult to get their self-published, digital or POD books reviewed by critics. I saw the original post, then watched (greedily, I might add) as scores of open-minded reviewers responded by saying, yes, they were indeed receptive to indie authors who were writing books in exciting new formats. 'The Indie Book Reviewer Yellow Pages" grew out of those responses.

If Christy had done nothing but compile a list of willing critics (a task in itself), that would've been virtue enough. But the Yellow Pages is much more than that. The entries for each of the reviewers includes a rating, a history of their sites or blogs, their audience size, a complete list of what genres and publishing formats they accept/don't accept, submission guidelines, approximate turn-around times plus a Q&A giving you a feel for their personalities and tastes. It's an amazing and thoroughly researched labor of love.

I should add that I don't know Christy, except as a member of Book Blogs. I'm not a friend doing a favor. I'm recommending the Yellow Pages because I'm a satisfied customer. I've contacted many of the reviewers listed here and have gotten some spectacular results--results I wouldn't have gotten without her book. The title of this review isn't hype. The book really IS indispensable. If you're an indie writer, this is a Must Have.

Oh my heavens! This is the book with the information I have been looking for.

Free publicity for your book(s) is always wonderful, but the challenge is finding the people who will give your book a review.

If you publish or if you write books, eBooks, Kindle, or Nook, Author Christine Pinheiro has put together the ultimate list of reviewers for you.

She contacted every one of these reviewers and asked them to respond to a series of about 20 questions as to what type books they review, and how the want them submitted.

Christine has included the reviewers' responses, so you can zero-in on the type of reviewers you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for UK Authors Too!, April 28, 2011

By 

Stephanie Zia (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Indie Book Reviewer Yellow Pages: A Reference Guide for Self-Published Authors and Small Publishers (Kindle Edition)

I bought the first version of this list and found it indispensible. I was able to contact some great bloggers who reviewed in my genre and accepted ebook originals without wasting anybody's effort. Consequently in no time at all I had some wonderful reviews for my new novel on US Amazon, Good Reads, US Smashwords, US Blogcritics, plus some very fine individual blogs and even The Huffington Post.

Thank you a million times for this fantastic resource.
