Alternative-Read.com

Review and Book Promotion Site

Welcome

Welcome to Alternative-Read.

Joining readers and authors together, Alternative-Read is a British review and promotions site, a monthly eZine, and a daily blog all rolled into one. Here you will find news, reviews interviews, competitions and book promotions from all over the world. 

Please check out the links on the navigation bar above to see what we have to offer.

Do you love writing books, but dislike the time and effort you have to put into promoting your manuscript? 

Would you be interested in freeing up more creative time with the knowledge that someone else is taking care of publicising your work, leaving you more time in the day to do what you do best and actually write? Maybe you just need someone to spread the word on a regular basis? We even have editing services, should that be what you require. 

If you answered yes to any of the above, don't worry AR can help you! Don't let book promotion bring you down, or interfere with your precious writing time. Here at Alternative-Read we pride ourselves in being able to offer you sensible, professional solutions for your promotional needs.

We also provide a book promotion and chat Yahoo group 'An_Alternative_Read' where readers and authors can get to know one another to find out what's going on in the book world. 

As an author, if you are a member of our Yahoo promotions group you are entitled to post* your book successes, press releases, competitions, and any other book news to the group. If it's book related we will not consider it spam! The only exception with this is during our group author chat days, where posts should be held back until the chat day is over. Please see our events page (currently over at the blog) for chat days and other events to plan ahead for. 

*Any promotional posts to the group could be added to our review blog, (link above), so please make sure we have permission to forward. This is a great way for additional free promotion!
