This is an "Authors Helping Authors" Project
So don't just ask, What's in it for me?
Also lend a helping hand to your fellow authors.
Select one book that interests you from the list below and contact that author.
Request a copy of that book in whatever form you prefer.
Write and post your Amazon review within 30 days.
Don't forget to sign your name, credentials and title(s) of books you have written at the end of your review.
__________________________________
On a time crunch? Aren’t we all! Ask the author to suggest a specific portion of their book, (maybe 35-50 pages) for you to read to get its flavor. Honest, you don’t have to read the entire book to get a good feel for it.
Ask the author to send you a few discussion questions to help target several key points in their book. (I have made it super easy for my readers by posting BOOK REVIEW DISCUSSION QUESTIONS at the end of each Tales2Inspire book.)
Authors: Offer folks a FREE book in exchange for an honest review, or note Carolyn's suggestion above, for offering a free e-book via Amazon Prime.
__________________________________
We now have a fabulous selection of books calling out for reviews. In the spirit of 'Authors Helping Authors', please select one of the them and contact that author to request a FREE copy to review.

Tales2inspire was a kernel of an idea I started in 2012. It has grown to proportions even I didn’t dare to envision. My innate curiosity about potentially fascinating human interest stories was the spark that ignited this idea, but it was the confused state of traditional publishing that propelled me forward. Tales2inspire delivers exactly what it promises as both an authors-helping-authors project and a contest. Winners get their stories published in print, e-book, and some even in video formats, with their names, headshot photos, and mini-autobiographies. Then I spread the word about the winners and their stories on my blog, my monthly newsletter, and on several select social networks. Free to enter, this competition is open to talented newbies and seasoned authors alike.
