Hello,
I’m just writing to remind you that we always give .25 rewards dollars for each review. If you add a link to review books at Booksonboard.com, your readers could earn $$$.
We are also always looking for new ways to promote well-reviewed books. If you send us a tip on some titles, we can promote them via discounts and twitter, offering a reference to your site.
Hurray for the book review! A dying art!
Thanks,
Abby
Hi Mayra
I love your header photo. I make masks as well as write.
I don’t need a book review but you might be interested, in having a look at ch 1 of my new YA fantasy novel, ‘Lethal Inheritance’ on http://publishersearch.wordpress.com
Your readers might find my site interesting too as the story of my progress towards publishing is moving along very nicely, so if you like what you see, you might mention it.
If you want to see my masks you can have a look at http://tahliasmasks.wordpress.com

I have really enjoyed reading through your blog. You have some real quality content here along with some very informative posts and great reviews. I think it would be worth sharing with more people and I believe I could help to get you new readers if you are interested.
I am looking for passionate writers to join our community of bloggers and I was wondering whether you would consider sharing your posts on Glipho and become a member?
