Review Policy

Hello Authors and Publicists, it seems like you have a book for me to review…

First of all, thank you for even considering me to work as a reviewer for your book. Second, this review policy page highlights all the details you might need including preferred genres, age group, review outline, rates, and contact information.

What do I read?

I occasionally read some from the genres I listed as I will not read, but that’s just it. It’s just occasional reading and I can’t say that I’ll be able to produce a quality review for the genre.

I’m also actively looking for books with a more diverse representation and are written by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors.

Book series reviews are welcome, but I ask that you also provide a copy of all books, unless I already have one.

BOOK FORMATS

I accept physical and/or digital copies (epub or mobi only!) of books either as Advanced Reader Copy or Finished Copy. Audiobooks are also welcome because they count as reading! I have access to both Netgalley and Edelweiss as well.

What does my review look like?

Like most book reviews, I will include the book cover, Goodreads link, Amazon purchase link, synopsis, rating, and author bio at the end. The review itself consists of the following:

• A short blurb or paragraph discussing my feelings and what I thought of the book.
• A detailed discussion of the story elements (characters, setting, plot) and what I personally thought of them.
• Final Words, in which I will highlight points and why I should or should not recommend the book.

CONTENT WARNINGS

I will be explicit in stating the content or trigger warnings needed for the book as a service to the readers, so please be honest and include them once you send a request.

TYPES OF REVIEWS

I write both full reviews and mini-reviews, often in bullets. I reserve the right to choose which type of review I will write for the book. Still, both reviews will contain pertinent links and information about the book.

Regardless of the type, I will give my utmost honesty in reviewing the book, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses.

How long is the turnaround time?

A book review, including reading time, may take up to three months, depends on how fast I can read, so I don’t impose a deadline on myself because I want to enjoy reading, you know? I cannot stress this enough: I have a full-time and a part-time job so please take that into consideration when availing of my services.

Reviews for book series will also take a longer time.

If you want to have the review posted on a set deadline, a minimal amount of $15 shall be charged, l and I can prioritize reading the book and post the review on the agreed deadline.

Where do I post my reviews?

As always, all reviews will be cross-posted to Goodreads. Cross-posting to Amazon / BN and other platforms is okay if requested. I also make use of my Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts to promote my posts.

Rates and Other Information

RATES

Type	Minimum Rate (USD)	Time Frame
Regular Review	Free	My discretion
Paid Review	$15	3 weeks or as agreed
Other Promo Post	$15	As agreed

Other promo posts come in the form of spotlight posts, author interviews, and cover reveals among others. Regular reviews are free, but you can always buy me a coffee.

Blogging is hard work, and I’ve been doing it for free since I started way back. I think it’s only fair that I ask for compensation for the time, effort and resources I use to produce good content.

All paid content will be disclosed in the post.

BLOG TOURS

While I can’t commit to organizing a Blog Tour, I’d be willing to join a tour only if the book really interests me. So most of the time I sign-up for tours I want but if you want me to join your tour, just let me know and we can try to work it out.

DNFs

As I have previously mentioned, I will be objective in reviewing books and I cannot guarantee that every review will be a positive one. If in case I didn’t like the book, I will be as constructive as I can in pointing out the things that didn’t work for me.

If in case I did not finish it, I will immediately inform you. I mark books as DNF on Goodreads and post a small write-up.
