Some Interesting Approaches
The Literary Platform
And Netgalley.
This latter was brought to my attention yesterday and it consists of a site you can sign up on to receive electronic galleys for review of forthcoming books. I selected three from the Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt publisher catalog (because they are well-known and have produced some interesting work in the past), but there are a number of other publishers there including smaller presses. Saves the publisher money on galley copies, but gets the word out there. An interesting concept, I wonder how it will catch on.
One nice thing is that you don't have to read on-line. I had the books sent to my Kindle. However, the books are DRM and expire after sixty days. Although, I will have to verify, because I just got my first.
