Find Book Agents Fast

Book Connector is a site that helps you to find book promotion resources on the Internet that are a good match for your book. The featured service, Connect to Book Review Sites, matches a book's genre and other characteristics to online book review sites that are most appropriate. The website offers a free basic service and a more advanced level for a fee.

According to Paul Petrucci, founder of Book Connector, the gunshot approach to requesting reviews wastes time, energy and money: "... authors have limited copies of their books to give away. They have to pick the few, critical sites that match their book characteristics (ARC vs published, e-book vs printed book, etc.), genre, willingness to accept small press or self-published books, and enjoy a large enough readership to make an impact. Their dilemma is they don't have time to read a hundred submission guidelines on a hundred web sites."

Book Connector's service solves this problem by intelligently matching a book's characteristics to the submission guidelines of over 500 book review sites. In addition to returning a list of appropriate book review sites, the service marks the ones that give interviews and post book signings and reading events. "Authors save time sending review requests to those reviewers who will give them the best bang for their book," Petrucci said. "And since authors themselves make the decision, they keep control of their campaigns."
