NCEP: If you like witches and Mean Girls . . .

[smock]

I have a new novel coming out later this month! Salem Mean Girls is the Salem witch trials retold in the style of Mean Girls.



Yes, it's as cool as it sounds.

And as part of my marketing push, I'm looking for ten people who are willing to write an Amazon review in exchange for a free copy of the book. If you're interested, I can send you a PM with a link to an Advanced Reader's Copy. All you need to do is read the book and then post a review on July 24th. (and this is totally within Amazon's terms and conditions. Lots of authors give away free books in exchange for a review.)

If you're not interested in writing a review, but you want to know more about the book, you can check out the pre-order page on Amazon: amzn.to/2tVDr69

I'll also have a paperback version available, hopefully later this month.

And thanks!

Oooh, pick me!

[smock]

You guys are awesome! I'll start sending out PMs.

If you're still looking for reviewers I'd love to write one

If you're still looking, I'd be happy to. Is is YA? I'm a school librarian, only reason I ask.

Yes, it's YA--but it is really, really hard to categorize! It's sort of historical fiction, but modernized, so it's really different from other books in the genre. I've been playing around with the BISAC categories trying to figure out where it will get the most traction.

And I'll send you a PM!

Lady, you are prolific! I'm so impressed! I've been slogging away at my novel since April 2015 and I'm not sure I'll ever be finished revising. 😭

Uh, I started this one in November 2013. So . . . you only have a few more years if you follow my schedule! 😭

Awesome! I'll happily lend you my genre thoughts after I've read it if you like. I kind of wrote my thesis on teaching reading workshop through genre instruction, so I'm ok at it.

Oh, and if you need reviewers in the future, let me know. I'm prepping for PitchWars right now and my pages are due August 3 so I'm swamped but I'd love to help in the future!

Oooh PitchWars! I'm so intimidated by that process! Good luck with the deadline, and I might hit you up in the future.

That would be awesome! I'd love an expert's opinion!

[snipsnsnails]

This looks great! Still need reviewers? If so, I'll do it!

[taratru]

If you still need readers, I'm happy to!

[alleinesein]

If you still need reviewers count me in!

I'll definitely read it, but I'm in the beginning of a giant book and wouldn't have time to finish yours by that date. Let me know when there's a kindle option.

Will do! Don't worry, I'll probably AW it all over the board.

[smock]

And I think I got everyone via PM. I might bump next week if it looks like there's more interest!

Thanks, all!

[nicbreeful]

I'd love to! Am I too late?

[nicbreeful]

Lol, I actually have The Witchfinder's Sister on my night stand. Such a fascinating (and scary) time.

[poundcake]

I'd love to review your books. Any books.

[Deleted]

Don't know if you're still looking, but I'd love to read it. It sounds like an awesome concept and I'm looking for something to read now that work is finally letting up.

[arehopsveggies]

I'd do it!!

[loira]

I'm happy to do it if you need Amazon Canada reviews (not sure if the product reviews are separate for different countries). Sounds like a cool read!

[Linie]

Years ago I wrote a one-hour presentation on witches and I loved the research. I'm going to buy thr book anyway and will leave a review. Does it have to be on amazon.com or is the British site acceptable too?

I just started this yesterday!

[tacokick]

I started it last night. It's really cute, love the Mean Girls references and the bonnet dyeing.

[theoriginalbean]

This sounds so awesome!
