Authors Meet Readers - A New Review Group

30/10/2015

If you love reading or you are a writer trying to get reviews for your book then why not check out the new Facebook group Authors Meet Readers:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/authorsmeetreaders/

The group was created by Kat Gracey and Roma Gray.

Every three weeks two books are chosen for review. You can pick one or read both. You have three weeks to complete your chosen book and leave a review (although if it takes a little longer that is fine as long as you leave an honest review at the end). Authors can submit their book suggestions during a chosen day.
Some books will be free but others may have to be purchased although they will not be more that $2.99.
No buy me links are to be posted to the site unless it is during the chosen day to pick new authors - this is to avoid confusion over which books are being reviewed. Any posts like these will be removed.

Anyone can participate as an author or reviewer but if you submit a book for review and it is chosen, you must be willing to take part in other reviews. Anyone who is not interested in helping other authors will not be welcome. This is a community and the aim is to offer support. This does not mean you have to review every book, but you must review at least one other.

If you are interested then join the group. The current books being reviewed are Witch Moon and Gray Shadows Under A Harvest Moon.

Upcoming Events for Authors and Book Lovers

I am taking part in the Halloween Blog Hop. Follow the link above to check out some awesome blogs.

As a writer I know how hard it is to get your book out there and to promote it. Most companies or sites charge a fortune for ads which have no guarantee of working. As a writer it is rare that you will have a huge amount of money set aside for advertising. I aim to keep running events throughout the year for authors to help them get noticed.

I currently host the Facebook event Blood Moon Rising. This is a bi-annual event running in May and October. I sign up authors throughout the year and from reviews I have done. Each author is given a day during the event to promote themselves and their work with one catch - You cannot post a direct buy me link to your books. You can post a link to your website or Facebook page only. Authors post everything from Q and A's, book reviews, short stories, favorite music, books, TV shows - the list is endless. The idea is to engage your audience and tell your story. To check out the latest event: - https://www.facebook.com/events/1141740532506979/

Next month (Nov) I am running an event called Season of the Witch through this blog. It will feature authors of witch fiction and short stories throughout the month. It is something I plan to repeat although most likely with a different feature (e.g. werewolves, vampires).
I hope people will join in and comment and share posts.
The above events are currently free for authors.

I also offer free reviews, as well as promotional offers for a low price. Check out the promotional offers for writers page for more info.

Feel free to follow my blog so you can keep up to date with any new events and you can follow me on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/sam_skgregory.
