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 (@pages.with.rachel), and on 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.
