What is a "virtual book promoter?" A VBP is someone who receives books for free in exchange for honest reviews. It is a great online book community for authors and readers to connect, learn about different authors, and discover so many books. This literary community was created on Instagram by Beth and Nicole, two best friends who love reading and sharing their personal book reviews. This is the virtual part of the name; our reviews are posted on Instagram, Goodreads, Amazon, and anywhere with an online presence for books. By The Book is such a great opportunity for authors and their books to receive the amazing recognition they deserve. Follow By the Book on Instagram for more information! (@bythebookvbp)
