How To Get Started Writing Online Book Reviews, Part 8

The eighth in a series of articles on writing online book reviews. Click here for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 , Part 5, Part 6 and Part 7. Today’s article features the opportunity to join a fledgling children’s books blog tour, Kidz Book Buzz.

This installment of the How To Get Started series is shorter than most of our pieces, but I believe it will prove useful to those of us involved in online book reviewing.

If you have been involved in doing research about online book blog tours, you may have noticed the lack of an organized blog tour for children’s books.  I know that I had noticed that children’s book reviews on blogs were not found as often as book reviews for adults (fiction being the most common).

I’m happy to announce the first organized resource for children/youg adult book tours on blogs.  Whether you are an author/publicist/publisher looking to tour a children’s/young adult title, or a blogger seeking to add more reviews of children’s titkes to your blog, you should consider joining Kidzbookbuzz.com.  As with any blog tour, an existing blog is required, this tour also requires a Technorati authority ranking of 50+.  You can find their list of blogger requirements here.

Keep in mind that they are just getting started, so this is a great opportunity to become involved.  As this is a new tour it may be slow in getting started with author’s and books coming online, but they already have their first blog tour scheduled.  This is a ground floor opportunity!  Enjoy! :)

P.S.  Although this is an ongoing series I am also entering this post into the Island Life Group Writing Contest.  I hope I’m blessed to win the $30 Amazon g.c.!

Please sign up for updates to the blog (in the upper right hand corner) to read the rest of this upcoming series, featuring interviews with established online book reviewers, more opportunities to review books online (both with and without a blog) and advice for new reviewers.
