Thank you for your interest in i swim for oceans reviewing your book!
All reviews I write are a true reflection of my personal opinions and feelings towards different books. While I cannot promise you a positive review, I will always promise an HONEST review, meaning that I will thoroughly explain my take on a book, whether positive or negative. I do not take pride in ripping a novel apart, and I have tremendous respect for the time and effort authors put into their novels.
Reviews are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 - with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest rating possible.
I am actively accepting review copies of Young Adult novels only. Should you contact me about adult, new adult or middle grade novels, I will most likely not reply, as they do not fit the criteria for this blog.
I do accept e-books, but they must be compatible with my Barnes & Noble NOOK.
Self-Published Novels:
As of 1/1/14, I am no longer accepting self-published novels for review unless I seek out an author and their novel myself. I will, however, feature guest posts from self-published authors about their novels if it is a novel that interests me and falls in the above criteria.
Timing & Posting of Reviews:
I do my best to review all books in a timely manner in the order in which I receive them. ARCs will receive due preference, and reviews for ARCs will be posted approximately one month before their release date. I will always notify the sender of the ARC/Review Copy of the day the review is posted. All links are posted on my Goodreads, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook and Random Buzzers on the day a book is reviewed.
I am always interested in featuring author interviews and giveaways on my site, however, I prefer to be familiar with the author and have read his/her work prior to an interview or giveaway. If you are interested in arranging the aforementioned, please contact me below.
