With the release of my new book just around the corner, I have been on the lookout for interesting and unique ways to market my book and to start a buzz. Here is a list of websites that I have stumbled across during my search. Perhaps you, too, can use these tools to your advantage.
Think your book has what it takes to be a Reader's Favorite Award Winner? Also a great source to obtain quality book reviews/critiques. http://readersfavorite.com/
Interested in conducting a virtual book tour? This site is awesome! http://www.shindigevents.com/#
Want to start an online raffle to get people excited about your book? http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/instructions-tweetlink/
This seems to be a good source to obtain book reviews. Small organization, but growing. http://www.getbookreviews.com/services.html
Market your book through Goodreads. Organize a book giveaway to generate pre-launch buzz. http://www.goodreads.com/author/program
Looking to host, or to be featured on, a book tour? This website links authors with bloggers. http://www.blogtour.org/
BONUS:
This new website allows you to easily upload and store files online. Great for sending large files on e-mail. http://www.ge.tt/
