| Want to tell us about that really great book you've just read? Simply email mixedbag at gretchenleebourquin.com. The Mixed Bag Review seeks book reviews under 1000 words, (preferably around 500) or as queries. We accept reviews of both Independent/Self Published books as well as traditionally published. As long as the review writer holds rights to their review, we are happy to repost reviews that appear elsewhere in order to help maximize exposure for the author. Reviews should include the title of the book, the author, the publisher (may be the same as author) and information on how to buy the book. Please submit via the body of the email with the word "Review" in the subject line. Attachments will not be opened without prior approval. I will hold up to 12 reviews on the site at a time, keeping the most recent. Payment -- Can't do it, sorry. But I will help you try to get other people to pay you. Every review will include a link of the author's choosing (provided it's a safe, clean place). It can go back to your blog, a place to buy your book, a personal website, etc. Wherever you feel will be most effective. Note to Book Authors: Initially, I was trying to provide a service of reviewing books myself, and unfortunately this does not fit my schedule on any regular basis. While I enjoy writing an occasional book review, promising to review any individual authors simply cuts into my personal writing time too much. You're welcome to suggest your book for review, but I may not get to it. If you know of people who have already reviewed your work fill free to encourage them to submit it to The Mixed Bag Review. As long as the author of the review holds legal rights to the review we have nothing against republishing work that has appeared elsewhere. If another magazine requests that their name be mentioned as part of any reprints we are more than happy to oblige. The Internet is a big place. We can share. Thanks and happy reading! Gretchen |
