Do you want me to review something for you?
Due to personal circumstances, I am currently UNAVAILABLE for review requests until further notice (if I already promised you a review before that, don’t worry, it’ll still be posted 🙂 ).
My main review guidelines are:
- It usually takes 2-8 weeks to read and review your book, depending on how many time slots are available when the request is made, the length of the book, and how much spare time I have during that particular period.
- I will try to give you a date on which I’m planning to post my review. I can’t always guarantee it will be up during that day due to unforeseen circumstances. I will let you know up front if I won’t be able to make it in time and present an alternative date to you.
- My reviews are always honest and fair. I tend to treat all authors as professionals, meaning I expect you to be able to take criticism as a professional as well. I will never attack an author personally and will stay focused on the author’s work instead.
- I don’t hand out 5-starred ratings like flyers for the newest club in town. This isn’t because I’m trying to be presumptuous, but because I want the 5-starred ones to really stand out and mean something. To me, a 5-star rating means it was perfect, will go on my favourites-of-all-time-list and I will recommend the shit out of it for sure.
- Reviews will be posted on my blog, Goodreads, Amazon UK and Amazon US. If you want me to post it somewhere else as well, just let me know and I will gladly do so.
- If your book turns out to get a 1-star rating from me, I will let you know up front and we can discuss if you want me to post my review on Amazon or not. I will always post a review of it on Goodreads, though, because I invested time in the book and GR members deserve to see all of the other readers’ experiences. The same goes for my blog if the content has been scheduled for a particular day.
- This is a free service; I’m not getting paid in any way to write reviews or to do other promotional work for your book. This means I will always try to give it my full attention, but my private life will come first (see point 2 also).
- I sometimes use swear words in my reviews. If you have a problem with this, let me know, and I can tone it down a notch. If you have a HUGE problem with this, I’m probably not the reviewer for you.
- I try to respond to all emails within four days (unless my blog states I’m on a holiday or otherwise not around for a longer period).
- I read all genres with the exception of Erotica and Poetry.
- I prefer Mobi files or physical review copies (or PDF files for graphic novels)
- Lastly, I’m obviously no academic when it comes to reviewing books, so I want to thank everyone who shows faith in me by submitting a review request! ❤
Note: I do NOT promote any Giveaways/Cover reveals/Book Blitzes etc. unless I’ve actually READ the particular book OR have read something from the corresponding author before.
I’d love for you to review my book. I can send you a physical copy. I’ll try to scent it with a brownie smell.

Falstaff Books, a new publishing house catering to the “misfit toys” of literature, should love for you to review a new short story collection by editor/author Ed Schubert titled ‘This Giant Leap.’ I know you said you were packed with other books to review, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right? It has to be one of the quickest reads I’ve ever had the opportunity to read through for the purpose of creating a press release for. Let me know if you have the maybe three hours it would take to read through this collection.
