A Few Good Reviewers Needed!

Here's the official post, as promised.

Indies Books R Us is looking for a few good nuts... um, we mean reviewers, but if you're a little cray too then no biggie!

Yes, we need help. If you follow our blog regularly you've seen on the last few months have put a strain on us. The indie book reviewing world is just too big for only 2 reviewers on this site. Commitment is for just 1 review/1 book per month. You'll get a choice in what you review, and you only have to put down about 300-500 words of your thoughts on the book's content. No extraordinary deal, no website design or fancy postings (we'll take care of that). Additional details will be provided if you're interested.
Those who want more info or are definitely up to the challenge send an email to: indiesrus@live.com

Include:

-Contact info

-Experience (it's not required, but a bonus).

-A review example. If you've never written one before write a review based on the last book you read.   I hope there's a few of you out there interested in joining the cause, at least that's one way of defining it. There's a ton of books available out there and we need to help people sift through the good, the questionable, and the fuzzy.

Indie Books R Us Launch Day!!!

The announcement I've been waiting to give, and now I finally can. Surprised that I can keep my mouth shut for so long?? Well, it's true... I'm capable.

Back to the point! I am entering a partnership with my dear buddy Cate Peace (known as Lexcade to most) on a new review blog aptly titled Indie Books R Us!




This blog is dedicated to reviewing the self-pubbed books that don't get as much as attention as their well-promoted, publisher handled counterparts. Plus, we hope to bring some faith to the self-pubbed industry.  Good self-published books do exist beyond the handfuls that have reached fame and fortune through large sales numbers. Our first review will actually post this Tuesday (January 2nd, 2011).

Until then I hope you can stop by, say "Hi", and join us as we venture into the unknown (Ha!). Also, if you're self-pubbed or know someone who is-- spread the word. Our guidelines and submission rules are posted, and of course if you have questions just shoot us an email.

There's a lovely launch day post over at Indies and of course we welcome thoughts, comments and ideas.
