An interesting look into the book blogger world. Honest responses from hundreds of book bloggers about their preferences and perspectives on the blogging world and review requests. This survey gives a really interesting peek behind the curtain to the changing attitudes and climate of the book blogging world.

If authors and publishers aren’t aware how much book bloggers can help a book get noticed, then they should read this 2016 Book Blogger Survey. Barb Drozdowich has complied information from 502 bloggers who share why they love being book bloggers and reviewers. She asks these bloggers seemingly simple questions but the answers are thought provoking and informative.

The survey had 38 questions and on average took responders about 9 minutes to complete. What Drozdowich put together is a compilation of important percentages that show the value of book bloggers. These percentages prove to authors and publishers the importance of the help they can get from bloggers and how dedicated bloggers are about reading and promoting books.

These survey’s also share the participation from book bloggers from around the world. This proves authors can be promoted globally. Readers will see that 75% of book bloggers participate in blog tours. Also 96% of these bloggers post their reviews to Amazon, Goodreads and other popular social media sites. Another interesting tidbit found was that book bloggers, 94% of them, read other book blogs. What this means is that bloggers want to become familiar with what other bloggers are sharing. As an author or publisher this is important because book blogger do purchase books and read for pleasure not just for reviewing. Basically, book reviewers buy books.

As a participant in this survey it’s important for authors and publishers to know that we book bloggers are serious about what we do. We actively build readership and we have the necessary power to help promote books and most importantly we love doing it. This survey provides so many valuable figures to authors and publishers and helps them better understand the need for book bloggers.

Recommended for all authors seeking to promote their work. As someone relatively new to book blogging, I’m grateful to Barb for letting me have a free copy of this fascinating analysis of her survey results. I feel it proves what a vital resource book bloggers can be to authors seeing to promote their work. Also, how it is only very simple things bloggers expect from authors wanting them to review their books: courtesy, respect and gratitude. I’m sure author’s could learn a great deal from the survey results and, if taken on board, it would make their interactions with bloggers much more successful. The other thing I took away from the survey analysis is the shared passion for books and reading of the book blogging community. Recommended for all authors seeking to promote their work.

Fascinating Survey. I was surprised to receive a copy of Barb Drozdowich’s new book, the Book Blogger Survey, because I had completely forgotten about taking part in the survey several months ago! She asked a range of insightful questions which over 500 of us book bloggers responded to and I found the gathered information to be fascinating. Admittedly I am a closet statistician! Drozdowich primarily analyses responses by bloggers’ gender and nationality, by the genre of books they blog about, and by the length of time they have been blogging. Many results were counter intuitive so I think this analysis would be incredibly helpful not only for agents and marketers wanting to tap into blogger networks, but also for existing and potential book bloggers wondering ‘is this just me?’ Certainly I was relieved and reassured to see my experiences reflected by other book bloggers and I enjoyed reading through the extensive free-form answers to open questions, all of which are reproduced in appendices after the analysis. I found the Book Blogger Survey very interesting and would recommend it as being well worth its 99p price tag.
