Review Policy

This policy is valid from 13 August 2010.

Authors/Publishers, I would be happy to review books (new or old), have author guest posts and host giveaways or contests.

When you send your book review requests, please include the following information in your mail :

  • Title
  • Author
  • Genre
  • Intended Audience
  • Synopsis
  • Contests / Promotions available (if any)
  • Website links for additional resources

I primarily read speculative fiction and romance but will occasionally read fiction from other genres if I find the book synopsis interesting. At this time, I do not accept audio books or e-books.

I will provide an honest review of the book if I accept the request.

I will try to read the book and post my reviews in a timely manner. Please inform me in advance if you need the book reviewed by a specific date. Otherwise, I will read them as I go through my books.
