REVIEW POLICY
Current Submission Status - PAUSED
As of March 7, 2025 - I am currently booked reading and reviewing book submissions through April 30, 2025. I will re-open submission requests on May 1, 2025, that I will commit to reading and reviewing in June 2025. FYI, I don’t respond to submission requests while the status is paused.
Thank you for considering me to review your book!
All the books reviewed on this blog have either been purchased or borrowed from the library, unless otherwise noted. All reviews are based on my honest thoughts and opinions. I am open to considering offers from authors and publishers to review books. However, I may not accept every offer, and acceptance does not guarantee a review.
What Books Do I Review?
I am most inclined to accept offers for adult books within the genres I prefer to read; literary fiction, historical fiction, horror, true crime, memoirs, suspense/psychological thriller, and mystery. To be fair to both parties, I am unlikely to review anything outside of these genres.
How Long Does It Take Me To Write The Reviews?
If you submit a review request within my preferred genres, I usually respond within 48 hours. However, there may be instances when I require additional time to make a decision on whether to accept the submission. I cannot guarantee that I will review any book within a specific time frame. If you have a specific date in mind for the review to be posted, please inform me, and I will evaluate my availability accordingly.
To ensure I have ample time to read my extensive TBR list for pleasure, I have implemented a policy of accepting only one to two book review submissions per month. This policy allows me to dedicate sufficient time to both reading and reviewing the submissions that come my way. I will keep this page updated with the number of submissions I have accepted and when I anticipate being available for additional submissions. Please see below for that information.
In my book reviews, I disclose where I obtained a copy of the book. When reviewing a book submission, I explicitly state that I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. My reviews are thoughtful, detailed, and constructive. I acknowledge the significant effort invested in writing a book. While I do not provide ratings on my blog, I rate books on Goodreads, Library Thing, and Litsy. It is important to recognize that not all books will resonate with every reader. I retain the right to discontinue reading a book at any time if I am not enjoying it.
Where do I post my reviews?
All reviews will be published on my blog, social media accounts, the Litsy app, Goodreads, and LibraryThing. Please be advised that all reviews are also included in my monthly newsletter. You may subscribe to my newsletter by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page or selecting the checkbox when submitting the request form.
What formats do I accept?
I accept Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) and already published books in the formats of paperbacks, hardbacks, and eBooks that can be read on Kindle or iBooks (PDF or ePUB).
What should you include in your review request?
When submitting your review request, kindly provide a comprehensive description of your book. This should include the title, genre, synopsis, and cover (if available). If you have an anticipated timeline for my review, please inform me so that I can determine my availability. To initiate a review request, kindly utilize the form provided below.
Please note that I do not accept guest posts.
