Where can I find people to critique my book

13 replies
I've created a health book in the "burn body fat for energy " niche. I want to find people I can give the book to for feedback. I have been on like 20 diet & so on forums & have a few people reading it, but I want to get like 20 people to read it & then answer just a few questions from me. Any suggestions for finding people to read my book?

Thank you!!

    I would recommend you search for fitness and weight loss groups in Facebook and join several and offer a limited number of review copies in exchange for an honest review for you to use, or answering your questions.

    That has always worked well for me.

      Absolutely right!

      And, I might add, it helps if you join the Facebook group - and actually make a bunch of posts... contribute... then people will be happy to help you in return for a review copy.]

      The better the people know you, the more responses you'll get, and the more reviews you'll actually receive. You'll quickly find out that not everyone will actually send you a review - but if you're in a forum where everyone knows you, they'll come through for you.

    dont just give your book to random people, what you want to do is reach out to other people with similar products and authorities in your market, send them a free copy and ask them if they will leave a review.

    You can get a few great reviews from people that matter, and it can also lead to a JV partnership somewhere down the road

    If you are looking for testimonials following the reviews try to get some people to follow the concepts in the book. Also, you might try reaching out to you immediate friends/family etc and find a nutritionist or dietitian whose testimonial on the sales page would lend weight.

    The Warriors Looking to Hire You forum is a good place to get reviewers too: Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You

    You can also hit up some of the Fitness guru's and MMA fighters on facebook (check out the TXMMA facebook group as well).
