Authors, I’m Looking for Books to Review About Israel or Jewish History

Hi all:

I know from hard experience how difficult it is to convince book bloggers to review books, especially if they are self published.

Therefore, please reach out to me if you would like me to review your book. I will require either a paperback copy or kindle eBook. However, if your book is short, I would be willing to read a PDF.

  • Royalties for print publication
  • Final thoughts
