Anyone want to do a review of my next book

#1

Post by brooktrout boy »

Hi All,
Hope everyone is being safe. I am looking for someone who would like to do a review of my upcoming book " The Zen of Home Water" . I would need someone who can 1) Read 2) Write 3) Promise not to pass it around. That stuff get's me in trouble with my publisher. I would like a review for this site.


Thanks-Jerry

P.S. To the admin, if this post is against rules just delete it.

I’m young and less experienced than many here and I still have a lot to learn but I love to read and I’m a very capable writer of essays; although I don’t have an interest in creative writing of fiction myself. It’d be fun to do a review if you would accept me for it. I could probably have it done the day I get the book (one fast read, one slow read, then writing and editing time) as long as I’m not helping at the barn or helping my grandpa downsize (beginning of next week)

Again though there are quite a few people here that you might want more because they are more experienced and have more clout, etc.

Jerry,

Do you have a deadline for the review in mind?

Hi Jerry:
I did a lot of book reviews in the 22 years I wrote my Outdoors column for the newspaper. I would be happy to review it if you like.

Thanks to all for the warm replies. I have two folks which is what I was looking for at this time. The book goes to print next week and should be on the shelves by October 6.

Well it’s the eve of October 6, all the house people Are lazing around. No one but I is curious of a new book to be out on the shelves in the morn. Will it be in the hand at the end of tomorrow. Who knows, as my hand carries a fly rod to the creek one more time.

This was almost three years ago. Many of us have already read the published version. It is a very good read.

Just Google The Zen of Home Water and options will show up. Or you can find it on ebay or Amazon.

Do you want a review or a hard critical look at the text. Being Semi Retired and a good copy editor I would be more than happy to review the book. We probably need total first.
