Lots of people contact us requesting reviews. Indies Unlimited is not a review site. Fortunately, there are a lot of book reviewers out there. For your convenience, I have posted a list of some of them below. I borrowed this list from the great folks at Book Junkies, and thank them for sharing. You can find some additional book review blogs in my blog roll. Be sure to check them out as well.
Jan Fischer-Wade also put together a list of 14 book review sites that have massive followings over at Curiosity Quills. Note that some reviewers and reviews sites specialize in certain genres, so do your research before submitting a book for review.
In posting this, I make no representation or warranty about whether your book will be accepted for review by any of the reviewers listed, nor the type or quality of the review your book may receive. It is not at all unlikely that if they feel your book needs work, or should just simply be used as fireplace tinder, they will tell you so. That is what makes an objective independent review valuable to both readers and authors. The list is below the fold. If you know of someone who’s not on the list, please add their link in the comments. Book Review FB Pages:

I wasn't one of the authors who asked, but thanks for this information, Stephen. Have made note of it.
Thank you for the info!! Here's a book review site that not only has an impressive following, but is a big advocate for child literacy and donates all the books she receives to a local high school library!

Thanks for this, a goldmine. I've spent a lot of time looking for review sites and they are kind of difficult to find sometimes because I am not the best at searching. Must learn how to google!
