Hopefully putting it in the guidelines will stem that somewhat.

Though that more or less rules out self-published works right there. I'm a top 100 reviewer on Amazon UK and experimented with putting up my email address. Well that lasted about a week. I did read a couple of the books that were emailed to me and they weren't terrible, but nobody was sending me anything in my preferred genres - paranormal romance and middle school.Panicswitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074225770192887676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024708439940556234.post-79542314341662359822012-04-30T16:14:59.879-04:002012-04-30T16:14:59.879-04:00My thanks to both of you.

I remember Neth over at Westeros saying that he got 10-20 requests a day from self-published authors asking him for reviews.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741738070067590221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024708439940556234.post-56170070716110531452012-04-30T14:34:50.041-04:002012-04-30T14:34:50.041-04:00I really like it when people are clear and straigh...I really like it when people are clear and straight-forward about what they do and how they do it.
