Succeeding in the writing world is not easy. The competition for traditional publishing contracts is higher than normal, this results in more self-published books than ever. The market is saturated. Which is why I wanted to create something different for my Book Chronicles newsletter.
I want it to be a community approach where anyone can contribute to it. You can do this is several ways.
You can add an article to the newsletter with links to your social media and newsletter for extra exposure.
You can write an article about your books with links to where people can find them
If you want me to review your book then send me a copy.
If you would like me to Beta-read your book then send me a copy.
Need help developing your book then let’s talk.
Author interviews to advertise your book release.
Graphics and other advertising for your book.
This content will not only be added to my newsletter but will also be advertised on my Instagram and Threads account of the same name.
Why Pay?
You might be asking why you would pay for this service, when there are many people who would gladly swap a book for a review, and I agree with you there are many wonderful people that do this for you. I offer something more
I spend time producing graphics to help advertise your book on my social media
The time spent on regular posts for a month advertising your book
The offer is not just for this book, but all the books you release in the same year.
We can agree a timeframe for reading and publishing the review.
Support in developing all aspects of your book from someone who has been publishing for ten years.
Still not convinced, then no hard feelings. Send me a message with a good quality image of your book and synopsis and I will add it to my bookshop regardless of whether you become a supporter of this channel or not.

Sam, I LOVE the pictures you create for your articles! Do you create them on Canva?
A series of questions for you. My most recent book still hasn't found a publisher. It's a transition book between category romance and women's fiction. If it hadn't had two important subplots and 5 important characters (all leading into the next book) my Harlequin editor would've bought it.
I don't have an extensive email list. About 100, I'm proud to say, on SS. I don't have the money for Amazon advertising. Consequently, I'm afraid to publish this book with KDP. I don't want to charge per chapter. Each chapter leads immediately into the next. The book is 300 manuscript pages.
I'm thinking about Notes and hints in my Linda's Heart newsletter to attract more subscribers. I think I sent you this book--Kiss Me, Cindy or maybe Forgive Me, Cindy--a good while ago. If not, I'd love to send it to you. Maybe you'll know the right path to take.
I've used KDP for several novels, eons ago (feels that way), and I'd love to re-issue them. Cindy would be third in the Kiss Me Series. The other three are historical romances.
I know others have these same questions. I know your answers will be valuable to everyone.
Thanks and HUGS!
Linda
