CANREADS Launches This Fall Across Major Canadian Cities

Toronto, ON — This fall, CANREADS, a premier book review, blurb, and award service, is set to launch across major Canadian cities, including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Halifax, and Vancouver. Founded by bestselling author and publisher Rebecca Eckler and acquisitions editor Chloe Faith Robinson, CANREADS aims to revolutionize the Canadian review landscape by offering services that prioritize feedback from avid readers, bookstore employees, and librarians.

Why CANREADS Stands Out

CANREADS addresses a critical need in the publishing industry: authentic, reader-driven reviews and blurbs. Traditional author endorsements often fail to resonate with book buyers. In a poll of 500 readers, 82% stated they trusted recommendations from everyday readers over those from authors.

CANREADS ensures its reviews are:

Detailed and Engaging: Full reviews include at least three blurb-worthy sentences.
Reader-Focused: Reviews are crafted by avid readers who match the book’s target demographic.
Unique: Each review is tailored to stand out in a crowded market.
Honest and Relevant: Reviewers are selected for their genuine interest in the genre.

A New Approach to Book Reviews and Blurbs

CANREADS simplifies the process for authors, publishers, and agents by providing professional reviews without the need for personal requests. This approach eliminates the potential for rejection and professional awkwardness that can come from asking peers for endorsements.

Service Highlights

Sponsored Blurbs: Ideal for book covers and promotional materials.
Sponsored Reviews: Comprehensive analyses highlighting book strengths.
Sensitivity Readers: Ensuring accurate and respectful representation of diverse perspectives.
Annual CANREADS Awards: Recognizing outstanding titles across 36 genre categories.

How CANREADS Works

Authors and publishers can order reviews and blurbs through the CANREADS website. Upon purchase, they submit a digital manuscript, and reviews are delivered within 2-4 weeks, with expedited options available. Reviews can be tailored by city, reviewer demographic, and genre expertise.

CANREADS’ Mission

By providing city-specific bylines and professional reviews, CANREADS aims to amplify the visibility of Canadian books both domestically and internationally. This innovative service model is designed to enhance the credibility and marketability of literary works, supporting authors from small independent publishers to large publishing houses.
