An impartial and credible review is a priceless tool for any author. Whether a book is traditionally published or self-published or an author is a seasoned one working on a series or a novice with a first title, a book review is essential to be competitive in the publishing industry. Banking on three reputable reviewers from different sides of the publishing industry, Partridge now offers the Trifecta Review Service to cater to authors who want an unbiased and professional critique of their work.
Kirkus Indie Book Review
Traditional, brutally honest and well-respected
As with Kirkus Reviews, all Kirkus Indie reviewers are experienced professionals who give honest, impartial evaluations of the titles they receive. The review can either be positive or negative but it is guaranteed that the author receives a fair and unbiased assessment of his book and its potential value in the market. He can then use this to market his book or to catch the attention of a publisher or literary agent.
The author will be getting an approximately 250- to 300-word review that includes a general summary for context and a concise opinion of the book’s strengths and weaknesses.
