So, I wrote a twitter thread looking for opinions on whether it would be worth opening Sadie’s Spotlight up for more self-submissions from authors. I’d love to hear your opinion.
I want to have a candid discussion. https://t.co/1k3NtAf3UM is a book promotion blog. Most of the promotions come to me through tour organizers.
But I'd like to open up a small number of spots for authors who don't want, need, or can't afford a whole tour to self-submit.

Here's the thing, I've had a book review blog that accepts review requests for years, and 1 thing I've learned is there is a certain subset of authors/pubs who take advantage & ruin it for everyone.

Lastly, I'd love to hear ideas on how best to do this. Google forms? email?
Have an open pool to pick and choose from? Accept only one at a time?
What would be easiest and most effective if I do decide to do this?
And I guess, is this something people would appreciate?
