Comments on: Can We Unclog Reviewers’ Filters? http://pmibooks.com/blog1/2007/10/18/can-we-unclog-reviewers-filters/ Promoting equal opportunity for authors whose books are self published or published by small, independent publishers Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:30:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bookpleasures http://pmibooks.com/blog1/2007/10/18/can-we-unclog-reviewers-filters/comment-page-1/#comment-92 Bookpleasures Fri, 23 Nov 2007 12:19:42 +0000 http://pmibooks.com/blog1/2007/10/18/can-we-unclog-reviewers-filters/#comment-92 Hi: We at Bookpleasures.com do not discriminate between self-published and main stream published books. However, it should be pointed out that we received hundreds of review requests and we can only review so many. I should also like to point out that many of our reviewers have complained that several of the self-published books lack proper editing and proof reading. I would highly recommend that if anyone is going to self-publish, he or she should hire a reputable editor to polish up the book. Unfortunately, this is what is turning off some of our reviewers from reading and reviewing the self-published book. Norm, Editor Bookpleasures.com Hi:

I have started Xavier House Reviews to specialize in dealing with self-published and small publisher works. Unlike some of the review services who cater to these books Xavier House Reviews does not charge for reviews. This is a common problem, which some folks are trying to solve.
