Book Reviewers : Kirkus Discoveries and Clarion Review for Fee

Book reviews remain to be one of the most influential factors in a book buyer’s purchasing decisions. Professional reviews give buyers and the reading public an insight into your book, increasing its sales potential

Xlibris has partnered with two of the book review industry’s most respected brands, Kirkus Discoveries and ForeWord Magazine’s Clarion Review For Fee. The Twin Book review provides authors a book review from each of these review companies.

Kirkus Discoveries, a paid review service from the editors of Kirkus Reviews, is one of the most prominent and respected book review publications in the publishing industry. The review provides an honest, caveat-emptor evaluation, under the same impartial rubric, and in the same format and style as a traditional Kirkus review.

Kirkus Discoveries posts these reviews on kirkusdiscoveries.com and the reviews are also eligible for inclusion in the Kirkus Discoveries monthly eNewsletter, which highlights the best submissions to the program at no extra cost. The eNewsletter goes to a targeted base of subscribers, including agents, editors and librarians.

ForeWord Magazine on the other hand, is the only publication in the industry to provide critical reviews of books from the independent and self-publishing industries. Averaging galley submissions of 700 a month, ForeWord Magazine editors can only choose 10% for review. Clarion Review for Fee, is ForeWord Magazine’s response to a growing demand of review requests. This service provides professionally written, truthful 400-word critique of your book similar to reviews one can find in ForeWord Magazine.

With author’s permission, the review can be archived in the magazine’s website, and in four other major databases online like Ingram’s Ipage, Bowker’s Books in Print, Baker & Taylor’s TitleSource3 and Gale’s Cencage. These databases are accessed by a massive number of purchasers, booksellers and industry players.
