The PDF Review Project

[Turanil]

I'm doing this because publishers at times find it hard to get trustworthy reviewers. It is practically an epidemic and some publishers have stopped sending out review copies of anything all together. To help publishers out and to hopefully build back some confidence in reviewers

Can you expand on this? What are "trustworthy" reviewers? Why do publisher stopped sending copies to review?

I emailed you. I am very interested.

I always wonder whether PDF reviews help sales.

I've reviewed a few PDF products for the German D&D-Gate (so far, 26 reviews in all), but I don't know whether people have bought any book I reviewed good (for example, the Kaser's Bazaar series, or Hot Pursuit, or the wonderful Poisoncraft).

Because most publishers are constantly asked for review copies and see a very, very small number of reviews actually materialize.

Reviews at RPG.net, in my experience, can (sometimes) have a positive effect on sales. I haven't noticed any measurable increase in sales due to reviews at EnWorld.

Interesting. Why do you think that's so?

E-mail sent. With the volunteer work I've been doing in the industry lately, it's about time I quit my day job.

First you tuned me on to PDFs.

Then you prod me into writting a review.

Last, the final step, now I will do more reviews for PDFs.




The conversion is complete o' dark one of ENWorld...
