“Being traditionally published in the past, it’s great to see services like yours that will assist independent projects like my new novel. I’m hoping I can make a go of it this way as I’m very much enjoying the creative freedom it allows.” —Brian James Gage, The Nosferatu Conspiracy
“I want to thank you and everyone at BlueInk Review for giving me this opportunity. This kind of exposure to librarians across the nation is desired by so many kid-lit authors.” — Stew Knight Finn and Botts: Double Trouble at the Museum
“Thankfully there are reviewers like you, willing to help struggling writers. Speaking for all the Yertle’s at the bottom of the turtle pile, we do appreciate it!” — S. Kensington, Just Another Girl on the Road
Thank you so much. I got a report of books sold so far and quite a few libraries appear to be picking it up. I am sure that the BlueInk review has helped with that.”— R. Christian Bohlen, Jesus Christ, His Life and Mine
