Recommended Reads - 10 Book Bloggers from other Asian Countries by Joseph Sunny

Joseph Sunny shares a curated list of 10 book bloggers from other Asian countries.

Writing a book and marketing it are two different things. While writing can be a solitary activity done in the privacy on our own house, both the activities need external support for successful execution.

Writing groups, writing courses, writing workshops, writing grants – the support for writing can be manifold.

While the support for marketing your book is all about selling your book. It involves book shop owners, libraries, retailers, literary magazines, book reviewers and P. R. agencies.

If you are looking to marketing your books in the Asian countries, these reviewers’ list can be a great place to start with. We strongly recommend authors to approach them only after matching their requirements with the services on offer by these reviewers. This way you will ensure maximum reach for your book by choosing the perfect audience.

So, without much adieu, we are sharing the list of 10 book bloggers from other Asian countries:
