Carolyn Howard-Johnson shares writers’ resources on her award-winning blog Sharing with Writers

You probably know that my newest book in the multi award-winning series of books is How to Get Great Book Reviews Frugally and Ethically. This is a new opportunity that lets you reach over 1,000 top book reviewers and bloggers with a bi-monthly newsletter under the credible SPAWN name. Register now at http://www.2spawn.org/register-for-new-releases-from.html. Have a book description of 75 words and your book cover image ready!

This newsletter was out less than a couple hours when a request for a review popped into my e-mail box! I can not only expect a review, I have a new contact to pass along to you if I love this new review site!

This program solves the mystery of getting a book in front of legitimate reviewers. Feature your book in the new service from SPAWN. It’s easy. You don’t even have to do the design of your “ad” yourself!

New Releases from…Small Publishers, Artists & Writers Network.

The deadline for first issue is has passed. Congratulations to those of your who signed up! But wait! There are more to come. Here they are:

The next issue dates are:Ho

May 25: Deadline May 15

July 25: Deadline June 15

Sept 25: Deadline Sept. 15

Nov 25: Deadline Nov. 15

This service is open for all books published within the last year. And, yes! I am participating. Two major convincers: The credibility of the SPAWN name and the Cision list (mentioned in the newest book in my multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers) that SPAWN is using for this project. Cision is formerly the famous Barron’s known to professional publicists everywhere! That list is so costly small publishers and independent authors probably couldn’t afford access to it. So this is a grand opportunity.

Here are details you need to know:

This newsletter goes out every two months to over 1,000 book reviewers and book bloggers. The reviewer list is pulled from Cision, the premiere online media database company that updates its media lists daily and includes top publications, online and broadcast resources like NPR, daily and weekly newspapers that publish book reviews, and a host of freelancers and bloggers who review books.

Each participating author submits up to a 75-word description of the book that starts with a catchy log line such as appears in the New York Times Book Review or online at Kirkus Reviews. Log lines are the concise one sentence description of the book usually at the top of the review. We want these descriptions to sound professional and grab reviewers.

Along with the description, an image of the book cover and a link for reviewers to use if they want a print or e-book version. Since many authors don’t have reviewer pages on their website for downloading e-books or requesting a printed book, this ability is included in the service

You can view a sample of this style page at: http://www.kkadownloads.com/ Password: 2016BooksKKA (case sensitive)

The design of these two pages is included in the fee and will remain on the site for six months after final publication of newsletter.

Fee and how to participate in the New Releases from… newsletter

Option One: $250 for one book description and cover plus the links for reviewers to download, which includes all three e-formats, and downloadable cover image and media kit (if available.)

Option Two: $400 for two editions with the download features.

SPAWN’s New Releases from… newsletter goes out every 2 months.

If publishers want to use this as an author service, a special price
and publisher page for their own books can be created.
