The company I own is going to be managing blog tours and social media campaigns for several upcoming novels written by
Gilbert Morris and
Davis Bunn. I am looking for bloggers from all walks of life who would be willing to review one of more of their books and to publish blog tour info that we supply (author bio, picture, Q&A with the author, book synopsis, sample chapter) on your blog.
If you don't have a blog but are willing to post a review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Christianbook.com, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., several review copies will be available for that purpose, as well.
What do you get in exchange for your review?
A
free copy of the novel for you to keep forever (or to pass along to a friend). Bloggers who are willing to run a contest will also be supplied with a second copy of the novel, which will be sent directly from the publisher to the
contest winner -- all you need to do is send me the winner's address.
We also reprint many reviews directly on the authors' blogs, along with your bio, your picture, and a link to your website or blog. This gives you valuable "air time" on a best-selling author's blog.
Here are details about each author's upcoming novels:
Davis Bunn:
Rare Earth (sequel to
Lion of Babylon) - contemporary Christian international suspense. ETA of review copies: Late April or early May; book releases in June. Bethany House Publishers
Hidden in Dreams (sequel to
Book of Dreams) - contemporary Christian psychological suspense. ETA of review copies: May or early June; book releases in July. Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster
Prayer of a Stranger - a Christmas novella (I'm not sure, but this may be a sequel or is somehow topically related to
The Book of Hours). ETA of review copies: July or August; book releases in September. Thomas Nelson Publishers
Gilbert Morris:
The River Rose (sequel to
The River Queen in the Water Wheel series) - historical Christian romance, "Mississippi River fiction." ETA of review copies: Late April/early May; book releases June 1. B&H Publishing Group
The River Palace (book 3 in the Water Wheel series) - same as above. ETA of review copies: Late November; book releases January 1, 2013. B&H Publishing
If you're interested in participating, please email me details about:
- Which book(s) you'd like to review (if you want to review ALL of them, we can likely make that happen)
- The URL of your blog, if you have one and a brief description of what you typically blog about
- If you don't have a blog, note where you are willing to publish your review (in addition to publishing it at online booksellers, you can review it on your Facebook page, for instance. If so, let me know the address of your Facebook page).
- Your mailing address, so the publisher can send you a review copy
- Anything else you think I need to know
If you can't participate but know other avid readers of Christian fiction who might like to review books, feel free to copy and paste this message and send it to them.
Also, I will very likely be hiring at least one person on a part-time contract basis to assist with the management of these campaigns. If you're interested, please let me know.
