I know I tend to peek in and lurk at the <a href="https://mythicscribes.com/community/" rel="nofollow">Mythic Scribes Forums</a> a lot, though admittedly, I'm too fearful to talk about my books other than asking for feedback on my covers.

Following them could help you figure out if you think the blogger might really enjoy what you've written. It's easier to get a book reviewer to read your book if you've matched them well to it.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207356626683365538.post-26107190228791607432018-01-12T18:05:39.780-05:002018-01-12T18:05:39.780-05:00I think your plan is solid.

However, they're not my target blog audience, because most of them are already published or have editors they're happy with. That's great! But I'm always on the lookout for those who actually need or want what I'm capable of delivering.
