And thanks for agreeing to contribute. <br /><br />I'm wondering why I didn't do this earlier! (Oh yeah, I had absolutely no time and no one was following me. It's much nicer this way.)Matt Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171715051853671712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30211588.post-34836859472851458172010-01-12T17:27:01.247-05:002010-01-12T17:27:01.247-05:00I'd also be happy to contribute the next time ...I'd also be happy to contribute the next time I review a book.

Mostly because I love to promote my favorite authors and I think word of mouth sells. <br /><br />I hope you get some takers, as I have such a short reading time that recommended books top my list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30211588.post-2331767023415011342010-01-10T11:07:06.656-05:002010-01-10T11:07:06.656-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Matt Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171715051853671712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30211588.post-50615993261562340172010-01-10T11:06:59.019-05:002010-01-10T11:06:59.019-05:00I'll place no restrictions on it at this point...I'll place no restrictions on it at this point. Let's see what you (and hopefully others) come up with. I'm not a huge fan of unnecessary vulgarity (I'll use f-bombs and other "stuff" in my own fiction, but I need to be convinced that there's reason for it in a book review), but other than that, I'm in favor of promoting fiction, nonfiction, poetry, playwriting, etc., and it can be literary mainstream, commercial, young adult, science fiction, cyberpunk. You name it!<br /><br />As to word count, while I'm not going to place a restriction on it, it may work better trimmed down. I can look at it as an editor and say "You've already addressed this -- and did a better job of it -- two paragraphs ago," and cut it back, but I'll let you and any writer know.<br /><br />I'll also give you a byline up toward the top with a link to your blog. That goes for any writer who takes me up on this. The idea is to promote writing, promote reading, and promote ourselves.<br /><br />Thanks again! I look forward to seeing your review.Matt Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171715051853671712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30211588.post-63903155999287733192010-01-10T11:05:25.835-05:002010-01-10T11:05:25.835-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Matt Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171715051853671712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30211588.post-14127419812178358722010-01-09T19:07:55.493-05:002010-01-09T19:07:55.493-05:00Hi Matt, this sounds like a great idea.

Are there any certain requirements, word count lengths, or genre preferences? Do let me know. sounds fun. :)TK Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785321238280775961noreply@blogger.com
