Underground Book Reviews is an online magazine that puts a spotlight on the emerging world of independent, e-publishing and self-publishing. By providing quality, in-depth reviews, we hope to elevate deserving new authors and erase the boundaries between the traditional and non-traditional publishing worlds. The Underground is different. Established review sites often won’t touch indie and self-published books. Unfortunately, most indie review sites pump out hundreds of reviews each month with only a brief paragraph and a star ranking. At Underground Book Reviews, we think quality writing not only deserves thoughtful, patient analysis, it demands it. We also give indie & self-published authors the same respect we do traditional bestsellers. Our literary lineup looks beyond the New York Times' Best Seller's list and seeks out the fresh voices of debut novelists, exposes brilliant self-published and indie books, and sheds light on authors who haven't made it big... yet. We invite you to explore an underground world of hidden talent. We ONLY represent websites with a literary theme, and all ads must be approved. We only advertise books that our reviewers have nominated as Pitch Perfect Picks, through our submission system. Please do not inquire about advertising books here. Why advertise on the Underground? Because we support emerging authors! And also, because with every new review, we bring in new readers. We have over 1,000 subscribers, and every week our following grows. On an average day, about 100 people visit the website.
