Policy
Important Note as of 10/22/12
Due to my giant reading list, busy schedule, and many other priorities, I’m currently not accepting review requests. If you submit a review request, it is very likely that I will not respond. I will respond to requests for interviews, giveaways, and guests posts. You may also contact me if you have any questions.
Review Policy
I read and review many genres but I particularly enjoy reading Young Adult Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Paranormal, Contemporary Fiction, Historical Fiction, and Women’s Fiction. I will not review non-fiction, horror, erotica romance, or children’s books. I welcome recommendations, review requests, Advance Reading Copies and Review Copies.
All of my reviews will list the title, author, author’s website, publisher, published date, and my rating (See my Rating System below for details). I strive to provide my honest opinion in my reviews while at the same time being constructive. I have an enormous amount of respect for authors and never want to offend anyone.
I will review ARC’s, printed copies, ebooks (ePub or Kindle formats), and even audiobooks. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and would love to opportunity for an audiobook review request. I cannot promise to review every book requested but I will consider all requests and respond as soon as I can. If I am not familiar with the author or the book, I would like the opportunity is to read the book before I agree to a review. I will not review unpublished or unfinished books.
In addition to posting reviews on my website, I also post reviews on:
- Goodreads
- Amazon
- Barnes and Noble
- Audible (If I purchased an audiobook from the website)
Review Requests
To make a review request, please submit it using the Contact form. In your request, please include the following:
- A link to your book (Goodreads page, book website, Amazon page, etc)
- A link to your website
- Indicate if your book is published or self published
I have a note/warning to authors interested in submitting a review request. Although I am not a professional editor, I have a substantial writing education. As a result of this education, I am a stickler for grammar and I hate typos with a burning passion. If you request a book review and your work has not been thoroughly edited, please know that this could greatly impact my review of your book. If there are even a handful of grammar errors and typos, it is possible that I could knock down my rating for your book by at least one star. If I do find errors, I will not help edit your work. I simply do not have the time. Please take my warning into consideration before making a request, as I don’t enjoy noting these errors in my reviews.
Interview and Giveaway Policy
Interviews and giveaways are some of my favorite features of book blogs. My giveaways are not limited only to books but could be gift cards, book accessories, or other fun schwag. If you would like for me to host an interview or giveaway, feel free to contact me with my Contact form.
If I’m not familiar with the author or the book, I would like the opportunity to read the book before I agree to host an interview or a giveaway.
