We are glad you are checking this page!  There is nothing worse than going to an "about us" page to find a bunch of blah-blah that doesn't tell you who is running the site.  We despise that!

So...first of all, we are under the umbrella of Nekoda Development in Austin, Texas. We started Reader Views in 2005 as a book review service. Within a few months, as authors and publishers in the industry informed us of their needs, we quickly added budget-friendly publicity packages.  Our mission is to fill authors’ needs, and when we find a need we fill it. To date, we've filled the needs with:

Reader Views - Book reviews and author publicity

Reader Views Kids - Book review written by kids

Review The Book - A place where authors and reviewers meet

Blogging Authors - A place where writers and readers meet

Inside Scoop Live - Up close and personal interviews with authors

Authors Access - Podcasts of interviews with experts in publishing industry

And we are:
