Welcome to the book blogger list!
If you’re looking for a professional Editorial Review (vs. a casual blogger book review), head here to our service. If not, continue below. If you’re unsure of the difference, check out this article.
The purpose of this list is for authors to submit their book(s) to. The book blogger will review your book publicly on their book blog, usually including a purchase link. All of the book bloggers on this list offer free options.
To submit your book to the book bloggers, simply look for your genre in the ones listed. Once you have a match, click on their link. Virtually all of them should have a tab along the top/side called “Book Review Submissions” or “contact” or something similar. There, the blogger will list further details and preferred contact method.
If the bloggers toward the top are busy with an influx of submissions, consider scrolling further down the list for a beginning point. If a blogger has announced a pause in reviewing, simply continue through the list until you find those who are available. The paused bloggers usually resume at a later time.
If you happen to spot a website that is no longer in use, kindly let us know and we’ll remove it from this list.
The links below are subject to change and expiration caused by the blog owners and may not be continuously vetted, so only click on links, both on this page and on their individual websites, you feel comfortable with. The list below is merely offered as a source of convenience, and The Book Review Directory does not claim responsibility or credit for any experiences occurring at any of the websites below. BRD does not necessarily endorse anyone on this list.
