When writting to these website owners make sure that you've spent a little time on site so you are comfortable with what they do, how they present reviews and information and a little of ethos of site. You don't like receiving generic email's that could be sent to anyone do you? Well these website owners don't either, so you are much more likely to get a quicker response (or a response at all) if you can personalise your email to some extent so it fits in with site you are trying to get reviewed on.

In most cases you are likely to be sending an email (in one form or another) to these people. If you have a website for your title (and I'd strongly recommend it) then you should include links to site. This way potential reviewers can quickly, easily and conveniently get a feel for your book (particularly if you include an excerpt on site). This can go a long way to bringing reviewer around to reading your book and then reviewing it.

But most importantly make it easy for reviewer to get hold of a copy of book! Either offer to send them a hard-copy (asking for their address in email) or to email a PDF document. PDF is a good format for this because it will open on most operating systems and will maintain all your formatting, ensuring you don't get odd line-breaks and punctuation when it's opened at other end!

You should also make it clear that you are available for interview by any convenient means, such as phone, email etc. Author interviews that accompany a book review (see an example here: Moem The Beginning - Book 1) can be very powerful. Think about it, a potential buyer has just read a review which suggests that book could be good, and that they might enjoy it. They are then given an opportunity to get a closer look at author, to read about their trials and tribulations. All of a sudden you are no longer another anonymous author trying to sell books, you start to become a person. The reader then becomes more involved with book or story and is potentially more likely to buy.

A word of caution. It might all sound very easy from above, you know get some reviews, do some interviews and bingo! I'm going to sell a million books. Well no, but point is doing this after publishing work can help you and your work gain more exposure which will help sales, as long as it's good of course.

You will also need patience, which if you've gone through processes of getting published I imagine you've got now. Most website owners don't review full-time, they often have jobs and other demands on their time so don't be disappointed if it takes time.

Good luck with your projects!

BUT

Does writing of a piece during a depressed period make person emotional who sentimentalizes everything?

The author in real life may prefer comedies to dramas.

Thoughts or portions of thoughts are focused upon that other portions of thought or other thoughts are not dealt with.

Think of standing before a forest and wanting to take a picture of all you see before you but all you have is a 35mm camera which is unable to photograph all of trees many of which will have to be cut off from photograph.

The writer then builds up portions of thought or thought into a literary piece for audience.

We don’t want to eat chips (fries) alone. We want a piece of meat or a slice of fish to go with it. And pour some ketchup and mustard on those chips.

This requires being dramatic.

Think of movies and soundtracks. At a certain point there is a certain feeling, a certain idea, a certain vibe and a song is played during action to build up this aura.

The audience has to relate to what you have to say yet at same time it has to be put forward in a different way so audience will be compelled to read about something they already know about.

Think of night when sounds are heard. They may be sounds of day but under cover of night when other sounds are smothered you never heard those other sounds until now. The sounds harmless during day suddenly become eerie in quietness of night.

This process converts original thoughts into lies for they are built up for purpose of being read by an audience and original thought although present does not exist in its original setting of mind but in a new setting on page.

Don’t you always think every time you see yourself in a picture you look much better when you look at yourself in a mirror than in picture taken (by someone else [so too writer writes as if beside self]) of yourself for it does not look anything as fabulous as you really look in reality?

So just imagine that.
