I am excited, because I just received an email from one of Amazon.com's Top 25 reviewers saying my book sounds interesting and that he/she, (I'm not sure which by the name; it's one of those names that could be either), would be happy to look my book over and review it on Amazon.com.
I had looked over the list carefully and noted that #14 on the list, in one of his/hers reviews, had expressed an interest in photography and, digging further, I found that he/she had recently reviewed another book on photography on Amazon.com.
He/she seemed to be a perfect fit to review my book, so I contacted him/her by email and pitched my book to him/her and got a response the following day that it would be accepted for review.
Their review will be flagged at the top of it that the person reviewing it is one of their top reviewers, so it should really carry some weight.
CreateSpace.com has mailed out a free copy to him/her for review. Now I can only cross my fingers and hope it is liked and receives a favorable review. Yea!
I sent a proof copy out before publication to another top reviewer that posts on top book sites around the internet who said she would review it, as well. She has had her proof copy for a week or so now, so maybe we'll get some reviews up here soon for all to see. Hopefully the reviews will be good. Don't all authors hope for that?
Let's hope for the best. These are exciting times.
Any more reviewers out there that would like to review my book and tell the readers what you think of it? If so, please get hold of me and we will set it up.
