Our site is all about making connections to reduce the time and energy that writers, publicists and publishers spend reaching services in cyberspace. On the flip side, we save reviewers and review sites time by shrinking the number of unwanted queries that fill their mailbox.

How do we save time? By gathering lists of things (e.g. sites that offer book reviews), breaking out their components (e.g. will they accept e-books for review or require a printed book), then intelligently matching these lists to the characteristics of the book that is being reviewed.

I know the need for this from my own experiences. After publishing Prodigal Logic: A Ray Gabriel Floating Home Mystery, I began researching sites that would offer book promotion, and studied the converging waves of e-publishing, e-bookstores and online reviewers. What I found was fascinating. A goldmine of publicity was out there -- you just needed to dig for it. And dig. And all that digging took time..

Being a collector of things, I soon developed a large list of sites that would display my books to readers, and now I want to share that list – hopefully it will save you time in your hunt for the best book promotion sites on the net.

Right now my cohorts and I are off collecting more helpful lists, like book reviewers, writing retreats, bookstores, reading clubs, and locations where authors have had luck doing signings. If there are other areas that would help you, please drop me a line at paul @ bookconnector.com (without the spaces).
