See what books were suggested by bloggers in February.
If you are a blogger who would like to contribute to the "Indie Books Read: April" post, you can do so HERE. Reviews submitted must be for books read in April of 2014, must be self-published or published by an independent or small press (Like Phantom Owl), and must be added by the reviewer not the author. You can add a review for a book that we've already featured, but cannot submit the same review twice.

Wow, this is a wonderful service you guys have! I will definitely be telling others about you, thank you so much for helping indie authors and their reviewers!
ReplyDeleteSince you asked for ways to improve the post, I do have one idea. I especially like the fact that you've included a quote from the reviews here; it gives interested readers a chance to preview the review before looking. However, I wonder if you ought to put a place on your submission page where reviewers could enter a quote from their reviews themselves? This might save you guys time--it would mean that you wouldn't necessarily have to go onto the page and find a quote yourselves. Just a thought.

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad you're enjoying these monthly posts, and we've been so happy to see how many bloggers have been participating. We couldn't do this without them.
We would love to include a way for bloggers to include their own quote, it certainly would save us some time. However, at the moment the service we use to generate the linky list doesn't allow us to add any other options. If we end up changing how bloggers can link up their reviews in the future, we'll certainly take that into consideration. But, right now using Simply Linked seemed to be the easiest option for us and the bloggers uploading their links.
Thanks for commenting,
The Phantom Owl Team
