Using Ezines to Promote your Self Published Book

Ezines are a great place to get reviews of your book published. They need content and, as a self-published author, you need reviews – it’s a perfect match!

Here is an ezine that actively solicits and reviews POD books (and you can find many others but conducting a search on Google for “ezine.”
www.mysticlivingtoday.com

Take a look at their site and if you feel your book is a good match for the tone of the ezine, send them a review copy of your book along with a copy of your sales sheet and a cover letter asking for a review.

Send it to:
Planet Starz, Inc.
314 Mill Pond Rd
Bluffton, SC 29910

Don’t forget, Self Publishing Advice will post your review and cover image on our blog. Once you receive a review for your book, you can submit it to selfpublishingadvice@gmail.com with a .jpg image of your cover.

Good luck and have fun!

Long Island horse racing at its best
By Richard Felix “Long Islander”

Stuart Held writes about the real Long Island just as Jimmy Breslin used to write about the the real New York. “Murder in the Backstretch” captures the Long Island horse racing scene using details of places, people and the LI racetracks. It took me to the Belmont Stakes and into this exciting tale of murder and treachery.  It’s his best book yet.

A great read!
By Wendi Jo Mathis “Wendi” (Silverthorne, CO)

I had recently finished Blind Spot by Stuart Held so I was excited about his new release Murder in the Backstretch. I was not disappointed. It was another page turner. There is a lot of interesting information regarding horseracing as well a good mystery. I was shocked each time another answer to the puzzle was revealed.
