Review Policy

                                                                      


Thank you for considering me as a reviewer for your book, I will consider all contacts from authors, publishers, publicists and PR Firms. When submitting a request to review a book, please give me a short summary so I may consider if it would be a good fit for my taste in reading. While I read a wide variety of books, there are a few genres that I choose not to read.

I read fiction: adult, young adult, women’s, Christian, historical, suspense/thriller, literary, some romance, fantasy, science fiction, chick lit and paranormal. I do not normally read non-fiction, but am willing to consider it. I will not accept erotica, self-help, graphic novels.  If the book is heavy on the explicit sex or vulgar language, I will pass on it.

If I agree to review your book, I will do so honestly. If I did not enjoy the book, I will kindly state why and I never bash an author or their work. At times, my daughter and/or my mother will guest review some of the books I receive. If you expect your book to be read and reviewed by a certain date, please make that clear in your pitch. It is my goal to read and review every book I receive, however I cannot guarantee a review if not contacted first. I also reserve the right to review a book based on not being able to finish reading the entire book and will state so in a positive way.

My review style is normally a short summary of the book from the book flap, back cover,  author's website, publisher's website,  or pitch email, a photo of the book cover (taken from said sites) and then a few sentences with my thoughts about the book. I do not do in depth or critical reviews.  If asked, I will add author information and links.

The physical books I accept for review will not be returned.  All books I receive for review are shared with others.

The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
