(I don\u2019t send review copies without asking first. That\u2019s just spammy.)<\/p>\n When my friend responded that she would like a review copy, my first instinct was to send an e-mail with the e-book attached. I could have just e-mailed my Kindle book file to this Facebook friend because I had her address, but I realized it would be faster just to send the file through a private message on Facebook since that’s where we were already corresponding.<\/p>\n But what if I didn\u2019t have an e-mail address for my Facebook friend? I\u2019ve actually developed many personal and professional relationships through social media, but I\u2019ve never met some of them face to face . . . and folks are cautious about sharing e-mail addresses. I know I am.<\/p>\n Since some websites limit the types of files allowed, I wasn\u2019t sure if Facebook with play nicely with a Kindle mobi file attachment, but it worked well.<\/p>\n It\u2019s really no different than attaching an e-book file (.mobi, .epub, or .pdf) to an e-mail, but you might need to skip a Facebook shortcut.<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 Open “Messages”<\/strong> (the double chat balloon icon) and click the link for “See All.” (See below.)<\/p>\n NOTE:\u00a0 Don\u2019t just open “Messages” and click “Send New Message.” That opens a shortcut box for a quick message. You want the full message window that allows you to attach files.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 2.\u00a0 Either select a message thread<\/strong> you\u2019ve already started with your Facebook friend or click “+ New Message”<\/strong> to start a new private message with a friend.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 3.\u00a0 Type your message, then click the paperclip icon to “Add Files.”<\/strong> Browse to the .mobi, .epub, or .pdf file of the e-book you\u2019d like to attach. Repeat this step if you\u2019d like to attach more than one version.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0 Click the “Reply” button<\/strong> to send your message with the attached e-book file(s).<\/p>\n That\u2019s it. Sending review copies through Facebook private messages is just as simple as sending them by e-mail, and no one has to share an e-mail address (author or reviewer).<\/p>\n Final tip: Before sending a review copy whether by Facebook or e-mail, ask the recipient which format they’d prefer. That way, you’re delivering what you know they can read.<\/p>\n If you have both print and e-book versions, which one do you send out for review?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/a>I “met” author and technical writer Sherry Snider in a Facebook group for self-published authors, where she invited me to join a group she started, “What do ebook authors sign?<\/a>” The subject is related to her book titled, not surprisingly, <\/em>What Do Ebook Authors Sign?<\/a>\u00a0Sherry admits that she\u00a0might be “a little overly consumed with the details of all-things-book-signing,” and that she’s partial to e-book signings because she loves the “undo” feature.
