Review Policy
Please read this before contacting me with a request!
I AM CURRENTLY CLOSED for reviews and blog content (e.g., author interviews, cover reveals, etc).
​
I also welcome guest posts, author interviews, cover reveals, book cover blurbs, beta reading, and more. I am not currently charging for any of these. I am happy to do speaking engagements (schools, book clubs, homeschools, mental health advocacy, etc).
​
If you are a younger or debut author looking for help with any step of the writing, editing, or marketing process, please reach out! I'd love to help.
​
I mostly read YA (young adult), and especially love the following:
-
Mental health themes
-
Characters who actively drive the plot/conclusion
-
Contemporary, with or without romance
-
LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, OWNVoices writers and characters
-
Tension or characters that keep me turning the page
-
Young authors (especially 25 and under!)
​
I will consider all YA, some MG, and some adult, especially if it includes the aforementioned characteristics. I am also open to:
-
Non-fiction related to self-help, psychology, health and wellness, business, marketing, baking, sports, mental health, or dogs.
-
Psychological thrillers or mysteries.
-
I am a TheIndieView reviewer, meaning I accept both traditionally and independently published books. (Find more reviewers who accept indie works on their website).
​
Not for me, ever:
-
Promoting of diets, fatphobia, xenophobia, sexism, transphobia, multilevel marketing schemes, religious conversion, or anything related.
-
Glorifying or stereotyped portrayal of mental illness.
-
Adult science fiction or fantasy or erotica.
-
Children's books for ages below MG.
-
Books from the point of view of an abuser (unfortunately, I do have to explicitly say this one...)
​
If you're unsure if I am a good fit for your book, feel free to reach out to ask.
​
Rating system
**I reserve the right to decline any book, or DNF/not finish any book, at any time, for any reason.**
​
I rate books out of 5 stars, usually using whole numbers. Occasionally I will use half numbers and will round on sites that require full numbers. I post reviews to my blog (which are sent to my subscribers), Amazon, and Goodreads (see my profile here). I am open to posting other places as well, if you let me know. Ratings are usually 2+ paragraphs.
​
If I DNF or denote the book as 1-2 stars, I will reach out to you to see if you'd like me to go forward with posting the review or not.
​
What to send
When pitching a book for me to review, please send a link to Amazon or Goodreads, the blurb, the genre, and why you reached out. (Tip: I'm much more likely to review your book if you subscribe to my blog, plus you'll get a notification that I posted the review).
​
I prefer physical copies or PDFs, if possible.
​
I am currently *CLOSED* for review requests.
