How do we ensure we’re not cross-contaminating review lists with you?

 


It’s unlikely that we’ll pick the same reviewers as you. We have a mailing list of reviewers we send out to.  We also sometimes approach professional reviewers who advertise via their web-site. And occasionally we might approach people in special interest groups.  We query as a publisher, whereas you will query as an author. Even if they’re presented with the same book twice they may well even review differently for a publisher (production values, editing, book cover) from the way they would for an author (style, voice, characters, plot).  Or they’ll just say ‘no’. ‘No’ doesn’t actually hurt anyone
