Xlibris-Kirkus Book Review Takes Indie Book Promotions To New Heights
Self-publishing pioneer Xlibris and book industry authority Kirkus Discoveries empower self-published authors to promote their book independently with an innovative line of professional paid review packages.

BLOOMINGTON, IN, March 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For self-publishing authors, getting their work reviewed can be one of the best ways to increase the marketability of their books. Moreover, getting a favorable book review from a reputable trade magazine or an established publishing authority is even more desirable if only it were that easy to obtain independently.

To give self-publishers the unprecedented opportunity to independently promote their books via a reputable book reviewing authority, self-publishing pioneer Xlibris Corporation launched the Kirkus Discoveries Marketing Packages.

As self-publishing expands its reach into independent book marketing services, more and more self-published authors now get a fair shot at getting their books reviewed by an established book review authority like Kirkus, a 77-year old book trade journal that gained a reputation for being the definitive pre-publication review source within the literary and film industries.

This collaborative marketing plan between Xlibris - one of the leading companies in the self-publishing industry - and Kirkus, one of the most trusted names in the publishing industry offers several value-laden promotional campaign packages that incorporate Xlibris' best-selling Single Targeted E-mail Campaign and Kirkus' Catalog Listing, and the Kirkus Discoveries Review Service.

The package enables an unbiased and caveat-emptor book review, consistent with the same system and approach that of a standard Kirkus assessment. The reviews are subsequently posted in the Kirkus Discoveries website with the author's consent. Plus, the reviews may also be included in the monthly eNewsletter which has a target-based subscription service that counts over 2,500 publishers, publishing agents, editors, librarians and book lovers among its subscribers.
