You + Blurbs = Amazon Gift Certificate!

Take a look through medieval-novels.com and you will see a lot of books. Over 1,200 of them, and all of them novels set in the Middle Ages.

But you will also see that many of them list little more than title and author. We want to fix that, and we would like your help. We will happily reward you for that help!

We are prepared to pay you fifty cents for every blurb you find for a book that has none at all. Your reward will come in the form of an Amazon.com gift certificate. The minimum is ten blurbs, therefore a minimum of $5.00. The more you send us, the more you will earn.

If you would like to do this, you will have to drop us a note and say what books you will find blurbs for -- just so we don't get two or three for the same book. You might, for instance, offer to provide blurbs -- that is one to three sentences describing the plot of each novel -- for two authors listed in Mysteries.

If you have any questions, do let me know. And if you would like to do this, just write to me and tell me which books you want dibs on. I will reply and let you know if you should go ahead. We can only reward those blurbs we gave the go ahead on, so don't get started unless you hear from me.

The site is http://www.medieval-novels.com .

If you read the book and can write an original blurb from memory, then terrific. If not and you can find a brief blurb on, say, Amazon.com, then great.

We are also looking for information on books not already on the site. See http://www.medieval-novels.com/about.htm for a submission form. These will not be subject to reward unless we prearrange for this.

NOTE: Our site is limited to novels set between 500 and 1600 AD give or take a few years set anywhere in the world. Movies and TV shows and books listed in the "Fantasy, Alternate History and Then and Now Mysteries" are not eligible for the reward. Only listings without blurbs are eligible and will be counted once even if the book is listed in more than one place. You are not limited to books listed on Amazon, but can include books from any source, press, library, etc. Let me know if you need clarification.
