Hi all!
I’ve decided to add a Book Reviewing Policy page to my website. Please read information carefully below.
BOOK REVIEWING POLICY
If you wish to contact me for the purposes of reading/reviewing books, you can do so either via my email address: geminibec17@hotmail.com.
If you decide to reach out to me, I will happily read/review your book provided it meets the following guidelines:
1.) It needs to be free: In the past, I have had authors ask me to purchase a copy of their book, with my own money, as well as read/review/promote it. In my opinion, this is quite rude. It is important to understand that whilst I love to read/review books, it is a business arrangement. In exchange for a copy, I will provide an honest review/promotion.
2.) I do not accept PDF’s or Word Documents: Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to read through this particular format. I prefer physical copies or Kindle e-books.
3.) I live in Australia: I’m including this point because certain companies/publishers have had to cancel the arrangement due to shipping restrictions/costs. Before contacting me, make sure you are happy and able to send your book to Australia.
4.) Prepare for an interview: I love interviewing authors after reading their books. You are absolutely under no obligation to participate in an interview but just know, I’m probably going to ask you!
5.) Do not send me misogynistic, racist, homophobic, trans-phobic, fat-phobic and discriminatory content: That is all.
6.) I am open to all genres: If you’re wondering what particular types of books I prefer to read/review, you can be rest assured that I am open to all genres. Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, historical, non-fiction and more.
7.) NO SPAM: I will not fall for spam so don’t even bother. It has to be a genuine author, reaching out with a genuine book.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME
A timely, professional and honest book review on my blog and social media accounts. I will take a nice photographic image of your book cover, promote you as an author and your novel as well. If you wish for me to leave reviews on other websites (e.g. Amazon) please outline clearly and I will happily do so. As mentioned above, I will also send interview questions if you feel comfortable. If you’re happy with my work, feel free to continue the relationship, should you release sequels or brand new novels.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. I cannot wait to work with you! Thanking you in advance.
Peace & Love xoxo
