Today I queried, Odyssey Reviews, and requested a professional review of The Pet Washer. Like a lot of book reviewers, they are backlogged. They ask authors to query first. If a reviewer is interested in the book, they will email and request a paperback or an electronic copy.
Odyssey Reviews prefers science-fiction, fantasy and mystery novels. Books must have basic editing at a minimum, an ISBN number and be for sale on Amazon or another major bookseller website. I don't know that they review many childrens books, but I decided it can't hurt to ask!
I recommend this website for the following reasons:
1) They don't charge for reviews.
2) If they don't believe it deserves even two medallions, they don't publish the review at all.
3) If the book receives 5 medallions, they will add it to their Listmania list on Amazon called, "Notable Self-Published Fiction."
4) They publish the review on the book's Amazon page at the author's request.
5) Select books in the five medallion category earn their Indie Award of Exellence!
Authors should steer clear of any book review sites that charge the author for reviews. This is an unethical practice. Amazon knows these websites and they won't allow paid reviews to be posted on your book page anyway. Only un-paid reviews hold water so don't waste your money!
