Review Policy

I will gladly accept books for review on my site!

I am only accepting hardcopy (aka a book), but this will eventually change to include ebooks once I get an ereader.  Please read the following, as contacting me means you understand and agree to the terms and conditions I have stated below.

I will usually only review novels. I am willing to try any genre of fiction, with a particular preference to romance, fantasy, sci-fi, chick lit, young adult, and Christian.  I rarely read non-fiction, only that which is of great interest to me (such as ballet, acting, and other performance art centric). Children’s books and plays are a possibility, poetry less likely, and textbooks not at all.

I cannot guarantee reviews. I am a college student and I also work, so my time is limited, plus my mum always told me that if I can’t say anything nice to not say anything at all (but I think she got that from Thumper on “Bambi“).

I will try to be timely. I will always attempt to review ARCs before the book hit the shelves, and post already published books as near to their release date as possible. I cannot vow it on my life, though.

I am connected. I use social media such as Twitter @JaiKaies @JaimeKristal, Facebook, Goodreads, etc. I will try to spread the word of your upcoming books to the best of my abilities.

I will tell no lies. I will be as truthful as I can when writing a review. My posts will not pretend that every book I read is fantastic, but neither would I bash any authors or books. As well, the reviews are based upon personal opinion and are by no means to be considered a professional review.

I love giveaways. If you want me to host a contest on your behalf, I will gladly do so. At this time I am unable to help with any costs included in said events, therefore I would pass the winner’s mailing address to whomever I am asked to contact.

I do interviews and guest posts. If you are interested in doing an interview, a guest post, or even a book review please let me know. I can email you either my Writerly Questions or my requirements for a review, or you can send me a guest post 400-600wrd about writing, publishing, or books.

These policies may be adjusted and added to at any time.
