Review Guidelines

​

You do not have to leave a 4- or 5-star review. Nor do you need to leave a huge review. I'm not expecting large essays. Even a single sentence is fine if you're not big on words, however, “Good book” is not what I have in mind either. What I'm hoping you'll do is share things that other readers might find useful in deciding about whether to buy my books.

 

For example, one or all of the following…

​

• What you liked &/or disliked about the book

• Would you recommend it and to whom (e.g., fans of _____ would enjoy this)

• Perhaps a favorite character or part of the story

• What you hope to see in coming stories or what you wished could have been in the book (e.g., you wished you could have learned more about a character or a backstory, etc.)

​​

What I'm hoping you WILL NOT do is…

​

• Retell the entire story and plotline of the book–it takes away the surprises. The blurb of the book already does this, so this is just repeated information and not very helpful.

• Reveal spoilers. If you gasped or thought, “Whoa! I didn't expect that!” then please do not share it. It ruins the experience for other readers.

• REALLY brief reviews. “Good book” or “I liked it” doesn't help anyone in deciding if this book is something they should try.

I want your honest opinion, so I'm not trying to control that, but I am trying to help you preserve the experience for someone else, and what is posted by you will be some of the first reviews new readers will see. Let them enjoy the books with the freshness you could savor or include enough information for someone to decide if they should (or should not) try the books. Thank you!

If you're still not sure you want to join the team, please read the FAQs below. They might clear up a few things.

​

Apologies you have to go through all this to request a free book in exchange for a review. Unfortunately, some bad apples before have made the process a bit more involved than it should be for all involved, and this keeps our experience smooth and pleasant!
