Hehe. <br /><br />I feel no shame in having self published, but I'd never be able to publicise a review I had paid for. It just seems pointless to me. If I had the kind of money to hand that these companies charge, I'd use it on some real publicity - like advertising!Joleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589801600522933584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153846123364544644.post-1502930489600491462010-09-05T07:54:06.376+01:002010-09-05T07:54:06.376+01:00Joleen, you forgot to link to where we can sign up...Joleen, you forgot to link to where we can sign up for this scheme. It'll be hard-going but I'll say nice things for cash.<br /><br />It'll be a blossoming business what with the likes of Lulu, CreateSpace etc which so many writers take. There's no backing for them so they'll do whatever they have to I guess. I'm glad you've not stooped so low, but I reckon there are a lot who are willing to.<br /><br />I'll review your book for a fiver and if Dave tries to undercut me he's in trouble.Lee Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625970674709103188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153846123364544644.post-26134989731785844782010-09-04T18:19:31.135+01:002010-09-04T18:19:31.135+01:00Haha, red wine, always good!

Have a great weekend yourself - by the sound of the wine you started early!<br /><br />Hmm, yeah, maybe instead of slagging off the practise, I should be joining in. Hundred quid a review, hehe - and that's less than half what most companies charge!Joleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589801600522933584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153846123364544644.post-70297331817447403642010-09-04T12:18:33.702+01:002010-09-04T12:18:33.702+01:00Great post, Jolene.

It wouldn't make the book sell if it was a really badly written story though. Reviews are only one person's opinion and I can't believe writers would stoop that low as to pay for a "positive" review to sell their book. <br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br /><br />(Yes I can see all your blog just fine now. It may have had something to do with red wine!)David Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006533626998905560noreply@blogger.com
