TheNewBook Review Honors Our Treasured Volunteer Reviewers

Hi, my name is Lois W. Stern and I want to welcome you to part three of TheNewBookReview's reviewer program, where we continue to celebrate the authors, readers, publishers and reviewers who capture our spirit of enthusiasm for the printed word.  


Now, as part of our "Authors Helping Authors" project, we want to honor each of our treasured volunteer reviewers who accept our offer to review a book from our growing list of review requests.  

Here are two ways we can celebrate you:



1) Once each volunteer reviewer has followed the steps below, Carolyn Wilhelm, our talented Image/Banner gal, will create a social networking image for you to use for any of your personal marketing endeavors.


2) Once you post a review for one of the books listed on TNBR Review Request list, we want to let all our viewers know that you have caught our Authors Helping Authors spirit. What better way to celebrate you than by placing a link to a review you have posted for another author under the Gold Star Reviewer emblem in the column on the genre chart where your book title is listed.

STEP 1.

Click here to select a book that interests you from our growing list of review requests, now organized by genre, to make it simple for you to search for books of your particular interests. 

STEP 2. 

Contact that author for a copy of their book in the format of your choice. (Note each author lists the formats available to reviewers.) 

STEP 3. 
Once you receive that book, write your review and post it to any of the online bookselling sites within 30 days of its receipt.

STEP 4a.
Send an email to Lois attales2inspire@optimum.net with the words: 
TNBR review in the subject line and a link to that review in the body of the e-mail(We want credible, honest reviews of approximately 150 words or more.) Lois will then place your name and link to your review under the gold star emblem in the genre chart where your book is listed.

STEP 4b. 
If you want our talented image designer, Carolyn Wilhelm, to create social networking Banner/Image for your own marketing needs, include the following information in the body of the same e-mail listed in Step 4a above:
  1. Your e-mail address
  2. Your name as you would like it to appear on your image/banner
  3. Your headshot as you would like it to appear in the black silhouette of your image/banner.
  4. A picture of the book cover you would like to appear on the left side of your image/banner. 
  5. Optional: The URL you would like to have included on your image/banner (i.e. your blog, website, social media page, but not an Amazon URL) 
* (For best clarity, please send your headshot, book cover, or logo image sized to 500 X 500 pixels.)


As your review acquisition coordinator, I will check out the above information you send to me, and once approved, will send it to Carolyn Wilhelm to create a unique image just for you.


As the third member of TheNewBookReview's team of three, I'm excited to offer you these unique opportunities, and wish you much success as you move forward in your own branding endeavors.

Lois W. Stern
