Today I would like to announce to you all a project I have been working on for a very long time:
What is Booklicity, you ask? Simple! It is targeted blog publicity for books and authors.
What does that mean? It means that I know that all book blogs and all book bloggers are different. A book that works for one blogger may not work for another. Likewise, one blogger’s audience may be a better fit for a book or an author than another blogger’s audience, even if that second blogger’s audience is larger. My job, as someone who has been part of the book blogging community since February of 2008, will be to help authors find a balance between audience size and audience suitability in determining what blogs are best with which to place their books. To help me in this endeavor, I have created an exclusive and extensive book blog database so that I can find the blogs that truly fit a book or author best.
As a blogger, I also know how to approach bloggers so that pitches are accepted. I know how to address other bloggers with respect, and I know how to check the book I am pitching against a blogger’s review policy to find out if it fits what they like to review and if it fits their availability. I also know about the sort of lead times that bloggers need, since most of us do not do this full time and many of us are inundated with books for review.
Authors, I do hope you will consider Booklicity for your online publicity needs.

This is a great idea! I can’t believe no one’s done this before.
There are some other bloggers with similar businesses, two of which started while I was working on getting Booklicity running, but they all have different focuses, like blog tours or more of an emphasis on social media.
I agree wonderful idea…
What a terrific idea! Good luck!
What a great idea - I wish you the best of luck!
This sounds like a great idea! May I ask how you made your blog database?
I had a developer build it for me, and I’ve just been continually adding more bloggers.
Many congratulations and much success to you, Jen!
What a fabulous idea!!
Congratulations Jen! Good luck.
Very cool idea and the site looks great!
Can new, growing blogs request being added to your database? (Or I guess I should ask, do the blogs included know they are included?)
Great service to provide for authors and I hope many of them take advantage of it!
Good luck! Exciting.
Great idea! Good luck!
