Become a book reviewer with a reliable outlet for promoting books and publishers.

Work in a bookstore.

You might want to try talking to the owner of a local bookstore – they’d probably be happy to find a home for them. My parents have a small bookstore and are constantly getting tons of advance copies of books; they end up stacked all over the house.

@theabk thank you! I was wondering when I was going to get a legit response. LOL

if you have any friends who work at magazines or radio shows – or any other outlet that does reviews – or if you are a freelancer who wants to write a review of the book before it comes out, contact the publisher’s publicity department and you can make a formal request for a pre-release copy. You can usually find a link to the publicity department through the home page of the publishing company.
