Book Review Policy

Last Updated 8/8/2024

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my review policy. I am based in North Carolina, USA, and am open for review requests. Here are a few things you should know before contacting me for review requests.

What Books I Will Consider

I like to review books from the science fiction and fantasy genres, specifically those from the YA and Adult demographics. Feel free to look at my past reviews to get a gauge of what I typically like.

Here are a few of my favorite subgeneres.

  • Science Fiction
    • Space Opera
    • Steampunk and Cyberpunk Deriviatives
    • Aliens
    • Speculative Science Fiction
    • Space Western
    • Sci Fi Comedy
    • Robots/Androids
  • Fantasy
    • High Fantasy
    • Urban Fantasy
    • Romantasy
    • Isekai (where a character is transported to another world)
    • Historical Fantasy
    • Fairy Tale/Mythology Retellings
    • Sword and Sorcery
  • Both/Other
    • Science Fantasy
    • Alternate History
    • Superhero Fiction
    • Dystopian Fiction

I will NOT read books containing:

  • Explicit sexual content of any kind
  • Body Horror

Accepted Formats

I accept books in the following formats

  • Physical ARC or Final Copy (email me for a mailing address)
  • Digital Files (Formatted for Kindle, please!)
  • NetGalley files

What I Need (Besides the Book)

In order to provide the best review I can, I need the following

  • The book’s title, author, and page count
  • A summary of the book
  • The author’s website and social media handles
  • The release date and date you would like the review published
  • Any other relevant information

My Review Process

Please keep in mind that requesting I review a book or even sending me a copy of it does NOT guarantee that I will review it immediately. I have a life and family outside of reading, and they take priority.

If the book I receive is an ARC, I will try my best to make sure to post my review on or around the release date.

I also reserve the right to not finish a book if I choose to do so.

All reviews will be posted here on my blog, as well as on my Instagram account, my TikTok account, my StoryGraph account, and my Goodreads account.

What if I Don’t Like the Book

All of my reviews are my opinion, and therefore some reviews I post might be less than favorable. I’m human and I have my tastes. If you are not comfortable with the possibility that I might give the book a bad review, please reconsider sending it to me. By sending me a book to review, you are acknowledging that what I say will be an honest reflection of what I thought of the book, good and bad. I do not mean these negative reviews as an attack on the publisher, the author, or anyone else involved.

Once again, I am only open for HONEST reviews. If you want me to post a glowing review of a book I’ve never read (or that I have read and didn’t like), I am not the reviewer for you.

Contact Information

If all this sounds good and you want me to review your book, please send an email to pageswithrachel@gmail.com.

Thank you.
