Review Policy

Having me review and post my opinion about your novel is a great way to inform my readers about your story and website.

**At this time I am NOT scheduling book reviews (special consideration for book tours) due to the overwhelming requests. I will read them as I am able to and post reviews once I’ve read them. I will try my best to read ARC’s prior to release dates.**

Review Requirements:

In order for me or a member of my family to review your book, you must send a non-returnable book, audio CD, or non-expire code to an e-book written/spoken in English for us to review. I do have a Nook Color so ebook format is preferred for the majority of fiction titles (except Children’s), just inquire please. I always give my honest opinion in my posts and I won’t claim to like something that I or my children have not read!

I do have a higher preference for fiction (women’s fiction, paranormal, historical, romance, horror, suspense, and inspirational) and self-help/living (home interior decorating, health, parenting, and self improvement) books but I am open to review something else.

If you have a children’s book for review, my children are a boy age 9, a girl age 11, and a girl age 4 to give you an idea of what age level of reading that would be appropriate for my family.

If I or my children read more than half of the book but discontinue I will write a synopsis and then a semi-review as I state reasons why I could not continue reading it.

Examples of past reviews:

Author Interviews & Guest Posts:

Author interviews and guest posts are another way to get exposure to my readers. Interviews and guest posts MUST be received AT LEAST 3 days PRIOR to the scheduled date.

Authors and guest writers may send me links, videos, and any images for their scheduled post. If an image or video is VERY graphic (very sexual & extreme violence) I will only add a link to the location with a warning that it is intended for those 18+ yrs old. I will not post the actual image/video on The Book Faery Reviews.

Please complete this form for scheduling & further discussion.

Examples of author guest posts & interviews:

Sponsor a Giveaway:

Another great way to spread the word about your products (books, audio books, ebooks (from Amazon or Barnes & Noble), and book accessories) is to sponsor a reader giveaway. I will ask you to send me a book or any other giveaway item first for me, and then you will hold products aside to ship directly to the giveaway winner(s).

I’m very flexible with giveaways, simply let me know what you would like me to give away, how many of each item, who can enter, and for how long you would like to run the giveaway (otherwise I will run through the remainder of the month).

I will run the giveaway, collect the addresses, and forward that information to you for direct shipping to the winner(s). Giveaways are hugely popular right now!

Scheduling:

Scheduled blog tours, author interviews, and guest posts will receive high priority over other book requests. I do my best to try to read/post all ARCs before the release date (you must let me know when it’s scheduled for release) but at this time not scheduling book reviews (special consideration for book tour groups).

Reading materials MUST be received AT LEAST 2 WEEKS PRIOR (preferably earlier) to the scheduled review date. If they are not received in time, a review may not be posted on the scheduled date.

Post Format:

Each post will include the book cover, link to author website, link to purchase, synopsis, and my personal thoughts about the book if it is a review.

Authors and guest writers may send me links, videos, and any images for their scheduled post. If an image or video is VERY graphic (very sexual and/or extremely violent) I will only add a link to the location with a warning that it is intended for those 18+ yrs old. I will not post the actual image/video on The Book Faery Reviews.

Hello! Would you be interested in reviewing my forthcoming (July 2009) historical novel, THE BELLY DANCER. Here’s the jacket copy:

A scandal that shocks a nation…
A passion that transforms a woman…

At the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, the modern, the exotic, and the ground-breaking collide as exhibitions from all corners of the globe draw millions of spectators. But Dora Chambers has more pressing matters to consider.

Dora has hopes to begin a long-dreamed-of life of wealth and privilege in Chicago. So she sets out to earn the approval of the local women of high society–the World Fair’s Board of Lady Managers–to appease her socially ambitious, aloof husband. Unimpressed with the young bride from New Orleans, they give her the distasteful task of enforcing proper conduct on the Egyptian belly dancing exhibition.

But Dora’s sensibilities are not so easily flustered by the dancers. She finds herself captivated by these exotic women, and by their enigmatic manager, Hossam Faruk, who makes his mistrust of her known–although his lingering glances hint at something else.

As Dora’s eyes are opened to the world beyond her own oppressive life of social expectations and quiet servitude, she finds the courage to break free of her self-imposed bondage, and discover the truth about the desire and passion in her own heart.

Thought I would drop you an email as I would be really interested in getting my ebook How To Do Everything and Be Happy (link to it on amazon here http://amzn.to/fl4OUr ) on your blog as a giveaway and hopefully a review as well.

Incase you don’t have time to be nipping about the internet to see what the book is all about the main description is here…..the link above does show you some of the reviews that it has already received though if they are of interest.

Every now and then a self-help book comes along that questions the very nature of happiness, shakes the very foundation of all the things you hold dear, and forces you to reconsider every assumption you’ve ever made.

This isn’t one of those books.

‘How to Do Everything and Be Happy’ is a book for ordinary people. With ordinary lives. It’s for people who have been ambling along and wondering why they’re not – well – just that little bit happier. It’s a book for most people. It’s a book for you.

Mumbo jumbo & jargon free, ‘How to Do Everything and Be Happy’ is direct, practical, occasionally witty, and stuffed full of ways to make your life just that bit happier. If you’ve got a brain in your head, if you can pick up a pen, if you’ve got half an inkling about what makes you smile, ‘How to Do Everything and Be Happy’ will show you how to fit those things into your life and, as a consequence, feel much, much happier.

Would love to hear if you think How to do Everything and Be Happy would be of interest to you
