Billie, this is the type of email I send.

Dear [REVIEWER’S NAME],

I found [REVIEWER’S WEBSITE URL] while searching Google for book review sites.

Would you be interested in writing a review for [BOOK TITLE]?

“[ONE-LINE BOOK BLURB]”

This is the URL for its official page: [URL OR LINK TO SALES PAGE]

If you’re interested, I can send you a copy in [AVAILABLE FORMATS (mobi, epub, PDF, RTF, etc.)] format.

Thanks for considering my request, and [MESSAGE APPROPRIATE TO THE REVIEWER’S INTERESTS].

[COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE]

Dear Sandra,
This is a useful tip. I immediately plugged in the name of an author I know with “book review” into a Google search and the top result was so specifically focused to my target audience: a publication catering to Jews in Philadelphia!
My question is, what are the best words to use to get them to review my book? I don’t think I should be saying “you reviewed Mme. X’s book, perhaps you’d be interested in mine.” Do you have advice on your blog?
Thanks,
Billie

Thanks, C.E. Good luck finishing the book. Try to find time to learn how to market it before it’s done — you’ll be glad you did.
