Putting your book on my reading list does NOT guarantee:
- A positive review
- However, I do not post reviews of less than 3 stars without first speaking to you about why my rating is low. You have the option for me to neglect posting the review or to post it anyway.
Here’s what you need to know before submitting your book:
- Reviews are FREE.
- I ONLY read/review indie content. This means self-published work. You cannot be signed on with a large publishing company. If you’re traditionally published with a small company or are a beginning author, please send me their information so that I can determine if you meet my criteria.

I *usually* read 1 book a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on what else I have going on, length of book, etc. I have added a lot of indie books to my reading list, but I prioritize review requests. If I’ve added your book, but you did NOT request it, I cannot guarantee a prompt review. If you want your book prioritized, submit the form even if it’s already on my list. There are currently 4 books which I’ve been requested to review.
I do offer lightning fast review options for those wanting reviews immediately, within a specified frame, or who are otherwise unhappy with their wait.
