This should outline my policies on book reviews fairly clearly, but if you have more questions, please reach out via email.
As much as I wish I could review every interesting book that came my way, I’ve somehow failed to master the art of reading and adulting simultaneously. Time and interest factor greatly into my decision to review a book. Money does not. I write reviews because I know how valuable feedback from a consumer’s perspective can be, and I want my reviews to give insight for potential readers, particularly those with taste similar to mine.
To contact me to request a review, send an email to reviews@words-reviews.com and I will respond as soon as possible. Due to the volume of requests I receive, I cannot guarantee a response. I will confirm any review requests that I accept via email with instructions about how to send me the book. Do not attach any book files to your request as they will NOT be opened.
I receive many requests for reviews, and therefore cannot accept them all. For those they I do accept, the turn-around fluctuates based on my current reading load, and can be discussed individually. Upon completion, reviews will be posted on this blog, Amazon.com, GoodReads, and LibraryThing, among other sites.
I accept reviews for many genres, but am most interested in the following (in no particular order):
- biography/autobiography
- history
- music/culture
- mystery/suspense
- historical fiction
- urban fiction
- young adult
- contemporary romance
- dystopian fiction
- multicultural interest
- teen fiction
I am not interested in travel/travel guides, religion, reference, poetry, or self-help/motivational books.
Please know that even though your book may fall under a genre I am interested in reviewing, that does not mean I can automatically accept it. For genres outside of those listed, please contact me directly to discuss on a case-by-case basis.
Disclosure: Some books I review are provided to me for free by authors or their agents (publishers and publicists, mainly). In such cases, my reviews will remain objective and I will disclose the source of such books.
Thanks,
Lena
