How To Find The Best Book Blogger For You
Thanks for your interest in having me review your book!
I started this blog as a way for me to track my reading as well as to have an outlet to talk about books with other bookish people. As a result, I’m primarily focused on what I want to read. This means I’m going to reject almost all of the review requests that are sent to me. Sorry! Read that link up there to find the best blogger/reviewer for you. This is what you can expect from me as far as review requests go. I’m really flattered at all the requests but I’m not able to respond to every request. I will get back to you if I’m interested.
I’m only going to accept review requests that really interest and excite me. I think that’s the fairest thing for both of us. I’m pretty clear about what I like and want to read so please respect my wishes. If your book doesn’t meet my criteria, you can try submitting it to Indie Pick of the Week for free promotion instead.
I will consider review requests for Young Adult and Middle Grade books in these genres:
- Some Fantasy (I’m not into Epic or High Fantasy though)
- Some Science Fiction (No hard core science fiction please)
- Dystopian
- Occasionally Contemporary Fiction
- Books that incorporate mythology (Greek mythology is my favorite! Not too into Egyptian)
- Historical Fiction (I’m a fan of Ancient Greece/Rome and WWI and II eras)
- I’m very picky about self pub books.
- If your book is similar to something I’ve read and enjoyed. (Make sure you tell me what it’s similar to!)
Books I am NOT accepting for review requests
- Adult Fiction
- Children’s books (ages 0 to about 9)
- Paranormal romance
- Romance [Seriously, even YA romance or with a touch of romance. I hate it]
- Erotica
- Most paranormal books
- Religious/Spiritual books [I am religious; I just prefer to pick out my own books on the subject]
- Non-fiction; Self- Help
- Series books (unless I’ve read the previous books or it IS the first book)
*Fair warning, I’m not a fan of tons of gore, language, sex, or drugs. If your book has a lot of any of those, I’m not going to like it too much.
Right now, I’m not accepting physical books (I have no room for the books I already own!) Ebooks only. I have a Kindle so any ebooks must be Kindle compatible.
When I accept a book:
- I don’t necessarily guarantee a review. I’ll do my best to review it though. There is a chance I might DNF (did not finish) the book but I will email you if that happens. I can still write a ‘review’ if that happens if you’d like. It might not be my cup of tea but instead be perfect for one of my readers.
- I don’t guarantee a positive review. My thoughts are my honest opinions; what I liked and what I didn’t like.
- Turn around time varies. I’ve been scheduling posts lately so I tend to be booked for about 3-4 weeks out at any time. Let me know in advance if you want a review by a certain time.
- I post my reviews here and on Goodreads. I can also post them on Amazon if asked.
Read all that and your book fits? Fill out my Review Request Form.
Miscellaneous
I do not accept guest post requests. I prefer to write my own blog content. If by some chance that changes, I will contact who I’d like to write a guest post.
I’m open to the idea of posting cover reveals, interviews, book trailers, and other fun book goodies. Contact me to figure out the details!
I’m open for hosting giveaways for books that I accept for review. Contact me and we can work out the details.
