THE WALLFLOWER CONFESSIONS

8. Who do you have to blow in this country to get reviewed in a national paper?

Am I going to have to pull a Brittany to get some attention? I have hair I can shave, but who is going to lend me a baby to sit on my lap while I drive to the grocery store? This strategy presumes that I am being pursued by a pack of rabid paparazzi, hoping to capture my shorn nether-region on film.

Sadly, it ain’t so.

I’ve been talking to people and reading online articles about the process of getting reviewed. I know that experienced authors claim that they don’t read them, but for novice wallflower writers like me, a review says somebody noticed. There are apparently services that will review your book for a fee, but paying for it seems so sad.
