Independant Writers' Review

I had a thought yesterday and I thought I'd share.

I'd like to see a way for independent writers to get their names and books out there. My idea is for an online literary magazine (possibly by purchase of subscription) in which independent writers, in particular those who self-publish, submit to the magazine a copy of their book(s) to be reviewed by myself and other staff. The writers would submit details of their books, including where they can be purchased and for how much, which company publishes them (if any) and so on. This would be inexpensive to do, and would place the author in the magazine's database, where people could go and read reviews by staff and look for the author's works.

I want to do this because, to the best of my knowledge, there really isn't much to help independent writers get recognised. I hope that through this, some independent writers might get discovered, too.

I'm not sure yet whether I'll do it, but let me know what you think!
