How to get a review in chool Library Journal, Choice, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, etc. etc. - http://www.amazon.com/Wandora...
So I have mentioned my friend Jessy's YA novel, "The Wandora Unit," before (now out, BTW). Her publisher has sent review copies to all the usual places. What can they do to increase the chances that it will actually get reviewed?
- s t e v e

Send a copy to Fuse8 and Tasha Saecker. Both do a Lot of reviewing and are highly respected kidlitblog reviewers
- Abigail
You'd be surprised how weird YA publicity can be. I'm deep in the throes of it with my friend's new novel.
- Kendra <3 Three Lions
You can't really persuade any of these publications to review a given book. They get inundated and make their choices however they can. There are over half a million books published in the US a year now. It's difficult. The best thing to do is write a great book with a good opening and hope your publisher gives it a great cover and a description that hooks readers. And tell yourself...

- barbara fister
Kendra! Ahhhhh! Frank Portman, right? Would he mind if Jessy and I contacted him? Jessy loves "King Dork," made me read it, described her book as "King Dork for girls" when shopping the book, etc. Email/DM me if you can.
- s t e v e
Barbara, on the one hand I'm sure you are right. On the other hand if someone here works or writes for one of those journals and knows people, etc., I think we could affect the way they make their choices. Not looking to bribe anyone or anything, just to say "hey, would you give this book a 30 second look instead of a 5 second look when deciding whether to review it?"
- s t e v e
Oh goody, I am on friendfeed. I tried my trusty name/password combination and it seems I feed friends here. Steve, Kendra, I actually sent Frank Portman a fan email when King Dork first came out. He didn't hide his email then (maybe he does now). He wrote me a nice note back. I didn't mention that I started peddling my YA manuscript as "King Dork for girls" or "King Dork for poets."
- Jessy Randall
This is "King Dork for girls"? Jessy, you should try to talk to Frank. He's leaving for his book tour of sorts today for Andromeda Klein, but I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to talk. I'll pass this along.
- Kendra <3 Three Lions
Kendra, thanks! I actually had lunch with Frank's editor at Delacorte a couple of years ago. She liked my Wandora manuscript enough to take me to lunch when I was in town, but not quite enough to publish it. Her advice to me probably is what got it published, in the end. Barbara, I know what you say is true. I'm just trying to do all I can for my book. Ghost Road Press is small and...

Good luck figuring it out. I have written features for LJ and now do a weekly column for LJAN. Score so far: reviews of my books in PW - 2; reviews in LJ - 0. [scratches head]
- barbara fister
Barbara, St. Martin's must have done all this kind of stuff for you, right? Or did you pound the pavement a bit? I'm wondering what the big-publisher experience is like compared to the small-press experience (which involves me lying awake at night trying to think of people to send the book to, and presumably my publisher doing the same thing but for all the Ghost Road books).
- Jessy Randall
They asked me where advanced reader copies should be sent for reviews and did mail them out (I got a couple of newspaper reviews from reviewers I recommended who cover the genre I write in). Next time I plan to buy some ARCs myself and send them to bloggers who might be interested. As the number of MSM review outlets shrinks, publishers are trying to reach out to bloggers, but they...

- barbara fister
Good advice all round from Barbara Fister and others (Barbara, why haven't we reviewed your books? I loved the last one!). One reminder: LJ tries to review books before publication date, so if your book is already out then it's unlikely we'll consider it for review. We do have an online newsletter (free) BookSmack in which Angelina Benedetti (King County PL, WA) reviews YA titles in her column 35 Going on 13. You might try sending it to her. Francine Fialkoff, LJ
- Francine Fialkoff
Hey Francine Fialkoff, thanks so much for the help. My publisher sent LJ a review copy in June (or so I'm told). The official release date is October 5, though my library received a copy yesterday. I still haven't received my own author copies. I'll send one to Angelina Benedetti as soon as I have one to send.
- Jessy Randall
Thanks for posting, Francine! I love the internet/LSW
- s t e v e
*waves politely at Francine*
- D0r0th34
I'm not bummed about not getting an LJ review (though pleased you liked it, Francine) - just pointing out that knowing people and getting reviews have no particular Boolean overlap. Probably as it should be - review editors being independent of the reporting etc. I review for a couple of genre publications and they're really particular about having no conflicts of interest, which can get tricky in a small world (knowing other writers, not reviewing anything published by one's publisher, etc.)

Hi Jesse, I enjoy your feed. I am a sales and marketing guy and I am really passionate about how emerging media tools can fit into business' marketing efforts. I currently "embed" with companies to set up and utilize emerging media tools. So what does that make me? I got tired of trying to tell people how to use these tools and decided to find companies that already KNEW they had to be in that space, but they didn't know how to do it well.

Thanks for this! You put into words what I've been pondering for some time. Now to send it on to my friendly library geeks at the library system. Our blogs are hosted locally but our wikis are not. Also off to backup my Delicious bookmarks! ;)

I'm trying to understand if people are giving up on Google Reader and moving to Twitter. I think this trend is happening for me, but wanted to know what other people think.
Nope. I still use Google Reader all the time. I don't see Twitter as a replacement for it anyway.
- Joey Gibson
I still use Google Reader all the time too. Blogging and tweeting are two different things. I get very different information from the two formats and enjoy them both.

RSS Readers and Twitter are both ways to filter the Internet, either you use a tool like Google reader & scan or you follow smart people & let them RT the good stuff. I'm getting better and now clicking more links from Twitter then from Google Reader. I'm just getting better stuff from Twitter. But I do have a lot of feeds and also follow a lot of people.
- Anurag Nigam
I ditched Google Reader a while back in favor of mashups using Yahoo Pipes and, for some feeds, Pingie.com. I find Pipes to be much more customizable and Pingie, because it works with SMS, is much more portable. Google Reader hasn't changed to keep up with my changing reading habits. Twitter, though, is altogether separate for me and I'm not sure how it could replace any RSS feeds.

Two different tools built for two very different purposes. I use both, though I have recently switched from gReader to Fever: http://feedafever.com.

It looks like Feedburner isn't counting the stats from FriendFeed anymore

I've been having major problems with stats on my blogs and the library's Drupal website. Turns out that Yahoo and Google have changed something so that the hits we get from them are being counted as fewer. We had to try 4 different counters before we got back to the right numbers. It helped a lot that all of the stats fell at the same time, so I knew something was wrong.
- Tasha Saecker
It's still counting them for my blog
- Kate
It's still counting them for mine, although I do know a number of users who it never counted them for at all.
