Over on Joe Konrath's blog, I read his recent post about a service called BookRooster.com. Now, if you check out BookRooster, you'll note that the service is to "invite suitable reviewers to review your book, to distribute your book to those who have agreed to review it and to track to make sure at least ten reviews are submitted by BookRooster.com reviewers."
Please note, this is not a pay-per-review service. The reviews obtained are supposed to be objective. The fee paid goes toward administrative costs. And $49 is not exactly a prohibitive amount to pay to get at least ten objective reviews.
Sounds cost-effective and like a time-saver to me. :)
However, if you're totally the DIY type and want to submit to reviewers yourself, here's a list of some review sites you might want to try courtesy of indiebookslist, a site that promotes books by featuring excerpts. You may wish to check this site out, too.
And here's a spreadsheet for the self-published courtesy of Seth Godin, if you need it. But, OMG, is it complicated or what? :-O
Finally, I agree with Jack Eason, who says, "Don't give your sh*t away for free!"
You've seen the motto on this blog, right? :)
