Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Looking to get a couple reviews under my belt for my first (published) book. If you're into epic fantasy and are looking for something quite different from the norm, this might be right up your alley.

In Wilder Lands is 198k words and is available in just about every format.

Rather than overdo the intro, I'll just give you the link to the Goodreads page, where you can get the lowdown on the book. After that, I provided a link to the Amazon page, where you can preview the first chapter or so.

Tricia Kristufek | 181 comments Sounds like an interesting book. Unless there is a rushed time-limit, since your book is long, I would be happy to review it!

Please send me a message about how to receive a copy.

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments The cover is beautiful. I am sure you will have reviewers lined up!

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Mr Danijel Firak will be happy to hear that. He may have thought I was nuts with the art I requested, but it turned out better than I'd hoped. :)

Katy (katyas-69) | 603 comments Wow, that looks like a great book. Um ... I'd LOVE to read/review it for you, if you're not in a hurry about it, 'cause I'm going out about a year for reviews right now. But if you don't mind the wait, I'd love a copy so I can take a look and read/review it as soon as I have a chance - it's nice and long and I adore long books! Let me know; you can send me a message here or email me at katy.sozaeva@gmail.com

I hope to hear from you!

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) Count me in, I'd love to have a chance to review your book.

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Ok, after getting an influx of people volunteering to review it, I had to make a quick change to my criteria. As is, I have 5 people who are on the review list, but won't have it at the top of their agenda until next year.

If I haven't already talked to you about reviews and you might be able to squeeze it in sooner, either message me or post back and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks!
Jim

Katy (katyas-69) | 603 comments Hey, Jim - I've just gone ahead and bought it, since it'd take me so long to get to it. I had a gift certificate, so... anyway, if I get a chance to get to it sooner, I'll try, but I'll definitely review it when I get to it.

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Thanks so much.

Sabine Reed (sabineareed) | 29 comments The cover is really great. Here is a link to a site I found that has lists of fantasy book bloggers. You can contact them also.

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments Thanks Sabine!


message 13: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Yes, thank you very much. I've sent submissions to a lot of the sites on that list, but the list itself is new to me. Good info all around.


message 14: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Still looking for a few more early reviewers! Got next year stacked with a ton of them, but if anyone wants to post a full review yet this year, shoot me a message.

Thanks!

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments Thanks for the update Jim!


message 16: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Unfortunately, I already gave out all my free print copies and got burned by people that promised reviews and didn't carry through. If I can find a way to send out some more without massive cost, I'll shoot you a message.

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments I'm happy to announce another round of reviews opening up for In Wilder Lands. If you can read a fantasy novel in the next 3 months (and you're open to unusual fantasy), let me know. I'm looking for 5 more reviews in the next quarter, if I can get them. These are ebook copies, but can be sent as epub, mobi, etc.

People with active blogs get highest priority for obvious reasons, but anyone's welcome as long as you're willing to post reviews to Amazon and GR. :)

Jim


Tricia Kristufek | 181 comments People should line up to read this book - it's incredible! And I don't say that lightly! Serious reviewers, if you like fantasy, check this one out.


message 19: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments I'll be over in the corner blushing...

:)

(Thanks Tricia!)

Katy (katyas-69) | 603 comments I'm hoping to get to it fairly soon - hopefully. It's hard to tell - I have so MANY books to read and review!! Well, at any rate, I'll get to it eventually ... LOL


message 21: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments No worries at all. I'd rather end up with too many than too few. :)

Jim


MeMe Belikova First lady Ivashkov (alicebelikovreads) | 17 comments I will be happy to review your book if it is still available! I'd Love a paper back copy if it is not to much trouble for you. Let me know you, can send me a message on here or lameciacreviews@gmail.com


message 23: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments I'm trying to avoid paper copies for the moment, as the first round of those I sent out cost me a ton and most of the people who received them sent nice "thank you's" back, but didn't give reviews.

Sorry, got kind of burned by that first group. If you're ok with ebook, I can certainly send that in most any format.

Jim


message 24: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Still looking for a couple more reviewers for the upcoming quarter. Sorry, no paper copies available at this time.

Jim


MeMe Belikova First lady Ivashkov (alicebelikovreads) | 17 comments Im totally fine with an ebook, you can message me on here or at lameciacreviews@gmail.com :)


message 26: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Excellent. Will pop you an email in a bit. Thanks!


message 27: by Jim (new)

Jim Galford (jgalford) | 31 comments Looks like three of the volunteer reviewers have bailed without reading the book or even looking at it.

Annoying to say the least.

But, that means reviewer spots opening back up again, so if you'd like to read the book, please let me know. Serious reviewers only. If you're not going to review it, you shouldn't be volunteering.

Thanks!
Jim
