Public Service Announcement:
Our own Breeni has launched a new initiative that I hope you'll all be part of.
Over at Today.com, she's launched a new blog that's intended to be as much of a resource as Win a Book. What she's doing is providing a questionnaire to book bloggers who are open to reviewing books. Even if you're not a pure book blogger, if you'd be open to hosting an author's guest post, to being part of a giveaway, or doing a review, this is a resource you'll want to be part of.
She's asking participants to fill out a questionnaire that's pretty comprehensive: what genre do you like? Will you review self-published books? Do you host guest blog posts? Are you an interviewing maven? And more!
The idea here is that book bloggers are gaining more weight and influencing more and more decisions about what readers buy when they walk through the doors of that local independent where the staff knows your name (sorta like Cheers, only without the hangover the next day). This sort of resource will allow authors, publicists, and promotion people to better target potential partners in promotion.
It's a waste of everyone's time when you're contacted about an end of the world novel, but you loathe them so badly that when your husband brings one home, you use it to toast marshmallows.
This is meant to be a way to cut some of those unnecessary e-mails out of your lives, so that you can focus on the books you'll love (or expect to love) the most.
Here's the link! Come be involved, everyone!
