  • “I appreciate the excellent work you fine folks do and IMO, you give the best value for the marketing dollar that I have been able to find.”

    Ronald Skowronek, Author

  • “Foreword Reviews has proven to be a valuable advertising partner for BookBaby. With an array of options and a friendly and informative team they make it easy to find placements that work effectively and within our budget.”

    Tom Laferty, Business Development Manager at BookBaby

  • “I always prioritize Foreword as I honestly believe it is the best media for us.”

    Peter Trimarco, Publisher at Notable Kids Publishing

  • “Promoting our books in Foreword is a no-brainer. The magazine continues to maintain its commitment to reviewing great indie books, so we know we’re targeting the right audience by advertising with Foreword.”

    Emily Nowak, Marketing and Sales Manager at Wayne State University Press

  • “Working with Foreword Reviews is always a delight. From advertising to design to editorial, the entire staff truly believes in indie publishing and wants to see smaller, mission-minded publishers succeed. It’s so comforting to know the relationship is a true partnership. Foreword is a tremendous resource to help the “little guys” achieve their goals!”

    Jennifer Scroggins, Executive Vice President at KiCam Projects

  • “I have to think that the advertising I did with Foreword, IBPA and PW paid off. 600 paperbacks in about two months is very good for a non-famous author like myself. I’d say 60 to 80 libraries have picked it up already and it keeps selling every day via my Ingram reports.”

    R. Christian Bohlen, Author

  • “When I have advertising dollars I only go to Foreword Reviews. Yours are the only ads I've seen make any traction with sales, and I tell other publishers the same thing.”

    Tobi Harper, Deputy Director at Red Hen Press
