The Objective Editorial Review

Every book that receives a Chanticleer Editorial Review written by one of our professional reviewers receives the following:

  • Published online on the Chanticleer Reviews website for easy linking
  • Each online published review comes with a built-in All IN One Search Engine Optimization package (AIOSEO) to maximize the review and the book title/author’s digital footprint.
    • AIOSEO interfaces with Google, Bing, Firefox, and Explorer search engines.
    • We carefully apply AIOSEO techniques to increase higher search rankings for each review.
    • AIOSEO allows for easier integration into Google Analytics.
  • Each posted review comes with SEO metadata to optimize Google searches and Amazon crawlers.
  • Digital links to Amazon, Independent Bookstores, and the Author or Publisher’s website.
  • Each review is posted to our social media for easy sharing and commenting by the author/publisher.
  • All our reviews are promoted and highlighted in our Newsletter.
  • We continue to periodically post the review to social media and in blogposts with links to the review on our website for long-term marketing and to refresh digital footprints.

You do not have to use the Chanticleer Book Review package now. You can use it in the future when you are ready!

The Coveted Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards (CIBAs)

You know you want it.

The CIBAs run year round with promotions always popping up on our website to celebrate the incredible authors who advance. Starting at the Long List, we begin promoting work on our high-traffic website, on social media, and in our newsletter.

From that point we add in digital badges, promotional stickers. By the time we reach the $1000 cash prize for the Overall Grand Prize Winner, we’ve given away over $30,000 worth of prizes!

With all that plus our under the hood marketing technology, it’s no surprise that the CIBAs are the most popular of all our offerings at Chanticleer.

When You’re Ready, We’re Here

Signing up for this bundle doesn’t mean you have to immediately submit your work to the CIBAs or for Review. We’re happy to hold your spot and check in with you on your terms, when your work is at its best. The same with the two CIBA entries!

You might write your book alone, but authors live in community.

Join The Roost today. We’re here, and we can’t wait to support you in your author’s journey and help your book be discovered!
