In a recent Instagram Live with SinC ED Julie Hennrikus, award-winning blogger and writer Dru Ann Love shared five tips for working with book bloggers:
1. Contact a blogger at least 3 months before your book release.
2. Follow blogs to learn about their focus and pinpoint the blogs that specialize in your genre.
3.Personalize your query to the blogger. And keep it short.
4. In advance of querying use your social media to share the content of the blogger, and comment on posts. Use the opportunity to support other writers.
5. Help the bloggers build their audience by posting about them. This is a two way relationship.
Bonus reminder: book bloggers do their work to support the community of writers. They are not paid. Add to that, they get lots of requests.
