Is there anything more exciting than a reading a great thriller? It’s no surprise that some of the top authors of the last century found their success writing action, suspense and thrillers. As an independent author, you no doubt had to put forth great effort to write, revise and rewrite your story to find the perfect balance between the plot, characters and suspense. After the writing was complete, time and money were no doubt spent getting your book proofread, formatted, and the cover designed. Now that your book is finally complete, you face what many authors feel is the hardest part of self-publishing: Marketing. Nowadays, most readers rely on positive book reviews to determine the quality of a book before investing their time and money. Thus, many authors of thrillers wonder “How do I get book reviews? And who are the best reviewers for thrillers?”
Book reviews come in various forms. A few examples of the review options available are Amazon customer reviews, Goodreads reviews, book blogger posts and editorial reviews, and sometimes these options overlap. For instance, many book bloggers, in addition to posting their reviews on their blog, will post their reviews on platforms such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads or Librarything. Similarly, while most editorial reviewers only post their reviews on their websites, Amazon and other retailers allow authors to prominently share editorial reviews of their books.
Whether your book is a psychological thriller, a crime thriller, a political thriller, a spy thriller, a legal thriller, a military thriller, or any other thriller subgenre, you’ll need to discover the best book reviewers to submit your thriller to.
