Reviews and Tours
I review books because I enjoy sharing what I read. Though I am sometimes given books for review, no compensation is received when writing a review.I do accept ARC copies for review on my blog. If that your book fits what I look for, I will post an honest review on my blog, Goodreads, and other venues if requested. While I do accept requests for tours, I limit the number that I participate in so as not to overwhelm my readers with sponsored posts.To request a product review/tour/etc.,
- Please include the following in your email.
- Subject Line: Product Name and the words Review Request

- I love giving my opinions on new and innovative products, and I am committed to providing thorough and honest reviews of those items. If I choose to review your product, I will email you the address where samples may be sent. Samples will not be returned, and you will be responsible for all shipping charges.
- When your product is received, you will be notified of it’s arrival. Please do not send emails asking if your product has arrived until at least one month has passed since you have sent it.
- If you are sponsoring a giveaway, I will email you with the winner’s information. You will be responsible for shipping the prize to the winner unless otherwise noted. I ask that the item(s) be shipped within 3 weeks after close of giveaway. If you would like to offer a gift certificate as a giveaway item, please make it an amount which will cover the entire purchase including shipping of at least one item in your shop.

When possible, I will link through Amazon.com for images. You accept the risk that you may not necessarily get a favorable review. I do not write mean spirited reviews for the sake of being mean, but I will write an honest review of my opinion.
- At this time I do not accept monetary compensation for a review, and an offer for such will not change the outcome of the review.
- I reserve the right to not publish reviews, even after a sample/book has been received.

- If you send an electronic copy of your book, please do not send a partial version of your book, as this will not be accepted and reviewed. Please include the book in it's entirety.
- Occasionally, I will read a book that simply does not jive with me. In that case, I will inform you of the status of the revue and any thoughts I had on the book.
