BlueInk reviews are distributed to:
Ingram Book Company, a wholesale book distributor whose online forums are accessed by more than 71,000 librarians and booksellers globally; Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database (children’s and YA titles only), used by thousands of librarians, booksellers and academic institutions nationally; iDreamBooks, a discoverability site that aggregates professional book reviews (think Rotten Tomatoes for books), featuring BlueInk’s reviews alongside those from The New York Times and NPR.
BlueInk also posts a review excerpt in the Editorial section of the author’s Barnes & Noble page (upon request); this position designates the review as professional, in contrast to customer reviews. All reviews are eligible to appear in the Editorial section of Amazon’s author pages.
Select titles also go to:
In addition to Booklist, select reviews are distributed to No Shelf Required, a popular website for librarians interested in ebooks; Douglas County Libraries, a major Colorado library system (8 million annual circulation) that buys many of BlueInk’s recommended titles.
Select titles are also included in BlueInk’s monthly newsletter, emailed to readers, agents, publishers and librarians who have expressly signed up for the list, recommended on Goodreads and distributed on social media platforms. All of these venues provide opportunities to enhance your title’s credibility immeasurably!! Unlike other review services, BlueInk does not charge extra for any distributions.

Seal of approval
Library guru recommends BlueInk to all American libraries!
BlueInk has been given an unqualified endorsement from American Libraries’ blogger James LaRue, who minces no words in his support: “Let me be blunt: I think every public library in America should track their recommendations, and buy them.” Read the full blog to see how BlueInk is commanding the attention of librarians nationwide.
“Palatium Books, an ebook subscription service based in Copenhagen, reached out to me last month, and they mentioned that they saw my name through the Blueink Review. I’ve recently signed up with them, and keeping my fingers crossed that Fourteen Days will reach its audience in some other countries. So many good things have come my way because of the review.” —Mayet Ligad Yuhico, author of Fourteen Days
“I have gained everything I hoped for when I signed up with BlueInk, and much more. Innovative, smart, practical, caring, idealistic, genuinely respectful of a writer’s efforts—these are the qualities I see in my dealings with your service. If my whole-hearted recommendation counts for anything, you certainly have it.” —Margaret Nagel, author of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban
