Travis’s comments from the Indie and Self-Published Author Support group.

I've used Xpresso in the past. They've facilitated blog tours when a book was being released. Only problem with blog tours is the traffic tended to be more from other authors than actual readers.

I know New Apple has worked with authors in the past and overseen their self-publishing efforts. There are a few other services out there, but I've never used one myself.

This folder includes helpful topics on the subject of book covers for indie authors. If you have a complete cover and are looking for feedback, fee free to post it here. If you know of a worthwhile cover creation service or have used an artist in the past, feel free to make suggestions. Be kind. Be helpful and courteous. The cover of a book is its first impression. For an indie author, think of it like a photo of their newborn.

This folder is for book giveaway offers and promotions.
If you are looking for book review requests, you may also post here but be aware of the rules below:
1) Be willing to receive both positive and negative, honest reviews
2) Be able to supply the reviewer with a copy of your book either digitally or physically free of charge.
3) Be able to accept reviews offline via contact with your reviewer. The purpose of gathering reviews is for author feedback, not padding online review numbers. Readers must not be required to post their reviews online. If they choose to post their reviews online, it is by their choice.
4) Be aware that readers have the right to review or not review any book they receive. And if they do choose to review a book, it is encouraged to be honest and unbiased, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.

Be intelligent. Reviews are only worthwhile if they are honest.
