Katherine, I've been wondering the same thing. I got a good Kirkus review for Living by Ear (which is self-pubbed), but I may soon begin to query my new novel to agents. Is this what you're also planning to do--query a new book--or are you going to query the self-pubbed book that got the good review? I definitely think if you're querying the self-pubbed book, you should use the review. If it's a different book, I have no idea, but would appreciate people's feedback. Thanks!

Jessican, so glad you enjoyed it, if "enjoy" is the word we can use here!  It is an eye-opening.

Kalthleen, I think it's certainly fine to make mention of it, and if it's stellar, you could consider the link. Indie authors need to sing their own praises and stand up for their strengths.

Deborah, that was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone know whether it's considered amateurish to include a link to a positive Kirkus Indie review of a self-published novel in a query letter?

Just read this article and had to share. A revealing look at the literary trials of a female author. Makes you realize not much has changed in the last thirty years, and thankful that the rise of respectibility for self-publishing may help to free women writers (and men) from the worst practices of traditional publishing.

Tracey, I absolutely, positively and utterly LOVE your trailer. It is unique and inspiring and it makes me want to read your book now! Congratulations! xxx

Tracey, I just watched the trailer and found it to be very professionally done.  It piqued my interest, and I'd like to purchase the book. You seemed natural and comfortable in front of the camera.  I'm sure this comes from your many years as a therapist and interactions with others.

Tracey, I just watched your trailer. It's really good. I especially like the way you describe the book yourself. It's a very personal approach that makes a potential reader feel connected to the book already.
