Side note - I noticed most of the reviewers mention that they received free copies of your book, perhaps you'd be willing to share some info? How many free copies have you sent out? How many of those have reviewed the book? How did you find the reviewers?
Hi

No problem. I did a giveaway of 25 copies of Librarything.com but that has only netted 1 review (I think).

I also used BookRooster.com where they distribute to reviewers who sign up to receive certain book types and genres. It removes the link between the author and the reviewer which means you get an honest review from the reviewer as they don't feel pressured by a free copy direct from the author.


I have also sent out about 5 copies to YA Book Bloggers, but most of those reviews have yet to come in.
