Reminder: Indie Author Book Blogger Support Project

I’m reposting a longish summary of this because I realize I didn’t get it posted in a couple of places.

This is a concept that I’ve tossed around for a while and decided, what the hell? It can’t hurt, so give it a try. If it helps someone else out, awesome. If not, it only took some of my time a little space here on my site.

I’d like to put together a listing of book bloggers that want to actively support indie authors and are open to reviewing their books. There are a few places for similar listings, but they often have more than just a listing of bloggers or the listing covers all kinds of bloggers regardless of indie interest. Those lists are still helpful and I’m not putting them down, they can just be a bit much to weed through when you are only looking for indie friendly book bloggers.

For this listing, at least for now, I’d like to keep it to only those interested in reading and reviewing fiction in an effort to narrow the focus and keep it manageable. Once I get a few, I’m going to do my best to keep it organized in a way that it is quick and easy to find what you are looking for, mostly by genre, but that could change as this grows and if there is a different need I’m not yet seeing.

If you are a book blogger that wants to help support the indie community and are willing to take review requests from indie authors, please contact me and I’ll see about adding you to my list. I do ask that you provide a link to your blog (be sure you have a contact page) and links to any places you post reviews, a link to your review policy and a brief list of the genres you are willing to read. I will not list bloggers without their express permission as I want to be certain those that are listed actually want to be a part of this.

If you aren’t a book blogger that is interested in this, but know others that might be, please let them know or share this post to help spread the word.

The ultimate goal is to create a network and partnership between indie authors and the bloggers that want to help support them. This is a project I want to do because I see a need and I have the time and space to attempt to put it together. It is something I’m offering free of charge with no expectations other than people potentially finding it useful. This will be a work in progress and I’m more than willing to take suggestions to improve and grow it as time goes on.
