I recently was contacted by a small marketing/publishing company and asked if I would like to do some book reviewing. Well, yes! I’m a book nerd who loves to write. Of course, I’d be interested. I’ve already received my first two books. One looks really interesting. The other not so much but you never know. I decided that if I’m going to do this I need to do it right. Below I’ve listed my review policies and I’ll put them up on another page. This way I don’t get myself into something over my head and others don’t expect more out of me than I can offer. So without further ado, here we go….
Review Policy
Authors/Publishers/Publicists/Marketing Gurus
I currently review books upon request on a case by case basis. If you would like me to review a book, host a blog tour or conduct and interview, you may contact me through HERE or via the Contact Cat link on the side. I will review most books in my preferred reading but am open to others under special circumstances.
My Review Schedule
I love to read but I must live a life as well. I read books on a first come first serve basis unless there is a deadline. If this is the case please let me know ahead of time so that I can schedule your material accordingly.
I will post when I will be away for an extended period of time. However, I am always reach within a 48 hour period.
Reading Preferences
I have a hyperactive brain and heart so I am pretty open to most genres. I always say I’ll try anything twice. That being said the follow are my preferences:
- Humor (fictitious or otherwise)
- Mysteries
- Non-fiction
- Psychological Thrillers
- Historical fiction (selectively…1850-1960 anything…other periods we can talk)
- Chick-lit (selectively)
- Romance (very selective)
- Literary fiction
- YA Book (selective)
- Christian Fiction
- Science Fiction
- Horror (within human limits)
- Paranormal Romance (selectively)
No-No’s
- Fairies and pixies (I haven’t found one that I could get through)
- Erotica &/or Homosexual themes
- Political Rhetoric
In most cases, I’ll consider a book on a book by book basis. Just supply me with a brief description and we’ll go from there.
Formats accepted
- I accept finished copies, ARCs, and PDF copies.
- I will consider self-published books
Interviews, Giveaways, & Blog Tours
Everyone loves to be rewarded! When possible I like to host book giveaways, interviews, and the occasional blog tour. If you would like to participate in any of the above, let me know. Again, if there is a deadline let me know ahead of time so we can schedule accordingly. Any information or material you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Please note that I respect authors and their property. I will NEVER sell copies of materials presented to me. Most copies will be either offered as a giveaway or donated to an appropriate non-profit organization. (There are on occasion those books that stick with me and won’t go anywhere)
Terms, Conditions, and other details
- Most reviews I post are also posted on Amazon.com, shelfari.com, goodreads.com, and/or anobbi.com. If you have any additional information you’d like me to share, please provide that with your material.
- I am a freelance reviewer. Therefore, I will give my honest opinion. I will not be cruel but I will give it an honest review. If a book gives me a bad taste in my mouth I will tastefully review it or omit the review all together.
- I am under no obligation to perform a book review, conduct an interview, or host a blog tour. I will inform you either way if I choose to or not.
- I am not responsible or legally liable over any damage(s) arising from any book review I provide.
- All information I post is and will be correct to the best of my knowledge at the time of posting. If I find errors or errors are pointed out to me, I will correct them immediately and post a retraction as well.
I am always happy to work with authors and their representatives in getting their information out. Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns using the Contact Cat link in the Menu box. I look forward to reading you all!
**Side note: If you have a product that is book related (booklight, book covers, ereaders, ereader holders, etc.) I will be more than happy to review this as well. Just drop me a line.
