Hello fellow bloggers,

I was wondering how to go about responding to Indie writers soliciting reviews of their book. I'm looking for tips on basic blogger etiquette such as - is it ok to ask the author to feature our review on her blog, and such. 

Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks!

@Nandini Deka: I've recived an email from the author asking for a review. Would this still apply in that case?

i also get many such requests...i think its ok if you are open to doing reviews like i do, else you can politely refuse.......they may put the review link on their blog/facebook page/twitter etc

Many people do book reviews on their blogs. Sometimes they get the books from the author or from programs like IB's Get Published and BA's Book Reviews. It is perfectly acceptable to write such reviews. 

Simply mention at the end of the book that you received from the book from so and so and if it is a paid review, state it.
