Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

Up until now, authors and publishing companies did all the work of finding people to review their books. But what if literary bloggers could find books to review all by themselves?

 

In Canada, the new service Mini Book Expo is playing the literary matchmaker, setting up online reviewers with blushing novelists. Author and Publishing Spot alum Jim Munroe is one of the participating writers.

It's a smart idea that could change publicity forever--giving lesser-known writers a boost and shifting the cycle of book review distribution. Check it out:

"MiniBooksExpo is a neat matchmaker service for publishers who want to get review copies to interested bloggers and bloggers who want to review books. It's Canadian, and it's a model I'd like to see more of as an occasional reviewer and an indie publisher."
