Flying Hugs and Kisses by Jewel Sample. How do you tell a child their baby brother or sister is not coming home from the hospital? How could this happen?  Where did the baby go?  Parents in the midst of their grief must come up with answers to their children's questions.  Flying Hugs and Kisses answers these questions with compassion and hope.

Tip

Many sources will not consider self or POD published books. If your publisher isn’t traditional or if you are sending ARCs out from your home office, your job is to be so professional it will be difficult for anyone to ascertain that yours was not sent to them by the country’s oldest publisher. Occasionally they will review a subsidy or self-published book and those authors so privileged feel it was well worth it to try.

Mission Statement

See lists for reviewers below this article. You will find newspaper reviewers, magazine reviewers and author-friendly Web site reviewers. See the links to other resources for writers pages near the bottom of this page.

Here are some ideas to improve your you query letters. A great query letter will improve your chances for acquiring reviews of your book. See the list (and the hints) below:  

  • Tailor brief portions of your query to the editor or region you are sending your query to.

  • Do not e-mail your query to several editors at once. Give each query the dignity of a window of its own.

  • Always double check your information. Requesting a review from someone two years gone (or dead) will not make a positive impression on a book editor.

  • Use editors' names when possible, correctly spelled.

  • Reserve self-praise to the "just the facts, ma'm." Avoid adjectives.

  •  If your time is limited, check out our query/review service on this site.  

  • Carolyn will edit/critique your query letters for $85. See our services page.

  • Refer to The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't for other hints on how to acquire reviews more effectively and how to use reviews to promote your book once you have succeeded in doing so.

  • You will find complete information on writing and editing successful query letters in The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success. That includes suggestions for 20 of USA's top agents.

  • Utilize the HowToDoItFrugally-related blog, The New Book Review, to recycle favorite reviews or to weigh in on your favorite books. You'll find the guidelines on the left side of the page.

  • Use the lists provided below but always check to be sure information is updated. In the spirit of helping other authors, please let us know if you find discrepancies.

 


 

 

Tip:

Publishing isn't what it used to be. There are so many kinds. Partner-, subsidy, traditional- and self-publishing and all kinds or pollination goes on between these categories. So ask questions and study hard before you select one.

Find at least one tip on writing, promotion or tech on every page of this Web site.
