The Fearless
Reviews is one of the rare venues where a small press may confidently send
a book for a fair reading.
Books
are judged for their content, style and approach to the genre. Care is taken
by the reviewers to highlight what is unique about the work. The review is
then written in a style that reflects the personality of the reader and is
always — thank heavens! — quotable. In an age when so many reviewers
refuse to acknowledge small press and weight all their reviews to big press
product, it is wonderful to have a review site that actually promotes the
lesser-known. Fearless Reviews is a treasure! • Jacqueline

The
Fearless Reviews offers a thoughtful — and fearless — look at books
from independent publishers, many of which offer
controversial views of subjects the mainstream press neglects, ignores, or
dismisses. • Leigh

The Fearless
Reviews continues to take a leadership role in bringing to light important
books that might otherwise be missed, especially
those from small/independent presses. It's exciting to see the review reach
the five year mark, and I'm sure it will continue to be an important force
in shaping the discourse of our society.

Once
our book was reviewed in Fearless Books, we gained a new level of professionalism
as a publisher. Fearless has a reputation of providing insightful, quality
book reviews and is the brightest star shining in the small press universe.
A
positive review from Fearless gets your books noticed and book orders flowing!

Fearless
provides an oasis of intelligent, independent reviewing in a desert of prepackaged
marketing hype. The site calls ’em as it sees ’em, and in so
doing renders a real service to booklovers and to important voices from publishers
and authors outside of the cultural mainstream. • Peter

Most major
reviewers all but ignore the tens of thousands of books published independently
every year, concentrating on those published by a handful of international
multimedia conglomerates. Over the past five years, the Fearless Reviews has
established itself as a much-needed filter to screen the great mass of independently
published books, separating the gems from the dreck. As a result, readers
can learn about excellent books and outstanding new writers who would otherwise
be ignored because the “big houses” did not believe them to be safe
investments. The reviews are honest — not patronizing toward small presses,
but giving them a chance of publicity if the books are good enough to merit
it. • Steve

focus in today's publishing review scene. • Fern

Just
a deep bow and heartfelt thanks for Fearless Reviews.
For five years you have posted quality reviews of books chosen for their originality,
excellence, and variety. The scope of new titles seems to improve each month.
Thanks for your commitment to independent publishing! •
