I am accepting books for review again. But….
I (reluctantly) need to become more selective about what I review. Between the work I do as an editor and beta-reader and the reviewing (and the rest of my life), I’m not finding enough time for my own writing. And I am a writer first, as I know you will all understand.
So while I am not closing the door on reviewing, I will be accepting fewer books. When you submit a review request, please include a few pages or link to a preview, as well as your webpage/Amazon/Goodreads links, and tell me a little bit about you as a writer. If you already have a fistful of reviews, I may decline; if I think I can’t do justice to your book, I will decline. I don’t want to add to the stress of marketing/publicizing indie books…believe me, I know about it.
And I promise this…I will reply to you. Maybe not immediately…but if this page says I’m accepting books for review, then I will reply, even if I’m declining to review your book, and I will let you know the reasons for my decision.
Otherwise, the general premise of what and how I review remains the same.
