You will be contacted within 24 hours.
What happens after my submission is received?
After your submission is received you will be contacted and given further instructions on when your book will go before reviewers and what you can expect.
When will my book get reviewed?
Book selections are sent out to our reviewers once a month. The deadline for submission is the 24th of every month. If your book meets the deadline and is picked for review you will receive a review within three to four weeks. If your book is not selected for review, it will be placed in the rotation for an extra month, after which time it will be removed from the system.
What is the average turnaround time for book reviews?
Ideally within three to four weeks. Sometimes later depending on the mail.
Can you guarantee that my book will be reviewed?
No. There is no guarantee that your book will be reviewed. Reviewers will choose books they are interested in. If your book does not get selected, it will go in the rotation for one more month. If it still isn't selected, it will be removed from the review process.
What can I do to make my book stand out?
An eye-catching cover and back copy that will grab a reader's interest are always helpful. Make your book something readers don't want to miss. Think about what makes you pick up a book off a shelf. First the cover catches your attention. Then you turn it over and the info on the back draws you in. Make your book appealing enough and you will get it reviewed.
How many reviews can I expect to get?
Depending on the interest, you could receive up to five different reviews.
Where will my review be posted?
Your review will be posted under the "Reviews" tab at the top of of the page. It will also be posted on Amazon and/or Goodreads.
Is this service free?
Yes.
I would like to review books for you. How do I sign up?
Under the Reviews tab click on Become a Reviewer or click here.
Who is responsible for getting my book to reviewers?
You are! If your publisher or agent is sending them for you then make sure they do.
Will you critique my book?
No. We are a review site, not a critique site.
I don't like the rating I got. If I make changes to my book? Will you re-review it?
No. When you submitted your book to us we expected it to be finished and so our review stands. We have a long waiting list of books to review. We cannot read your book twice.
Will you review my booklet or short story?
No. We only accept standard full-length novels or works of non-fiction. Somewhere between 40,000 - 80,000 words (approx. 160 - 300 pages).
