Though I'm usually surprised by a great read I find when reviewing indie authors, they have become more of a hassle recently. I too am thinking about no longer reviewing indie authors, as I am constantly receiving e-mails asking for a review when, A) I have already reviewed their novel and yet they continue to ask for the same review, or B) I'm simply not interested in reviewing their novel, and they keep constantly e-mailing me for a review. <br />I fortunately have not gone through the bashing that other fellow bloggers have, but I am seeing this horrible situation more and more, and find it appalling that authors, especially indie authors treat bloggers this way. I hope things transition smoothly for you, and hopefully all the indie authors vs. bloggers drama will die down soon.Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014211491573601722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439388293373890612.post-55843281144357858862012-07-21T18:48:40.919-05:002012-07-21T18:48:40.919-05:00I understand your decision, and as a fellow blogge...I understand your decision, and as a fellow blogger, I really respect it. I still have a list of indie/SP novels that I accepted for review last year, and am trying my best to get caught up with them--even to the point where 2 friends are now contributors to my blog and are helping me with the list. The good news is that we are now down to slightly less than 20 books.<br /><br />My blog is still under construction as far as design, and I haven't drawn up an official policy just yet on my stance on which books I will accept. However, in any dealings with indies or SPs, I have been treading cautiously. I had a wonderful, honest email exchange with an author earlier this afternoon about her book, and I know that not all indies/SPs should be judged by the actions of others. It's going to take some time for bloggers/authors to move past what has been happening in the blogging community these past weeks.<br /><br />Jen<br />Literally Jen<br />http://www.literallyjen.comSitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203114335728585180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439388293373890612.post-22257315279887084582012-07-21T16:45:55.835-05:002012-07-21T16:45:55.835-05:00I wanted to still read them but I just made my sel...I wanted to still read them but I just made my selection much more exclusive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256994715274614059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439388293373890612.post-35437888508689009872012-07-21T16:45:23.690-05:002012-07-21T16:45:23.690-05:00And indie book is self-published book.And indie book is self-published book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256994715274614059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439388293373890612.post-64093069414654402212012-07-21T16:39:02.576-05:002012-07-21T16:39:02.576-05:00Its sad that this may have affected some great ind...Its sad that this may have affected some great indie authors but im glad that you will continue to review the indie authors you have worked with. You came up with a pretty good solution.
