SPECIAL NOTES

We estimate 3-12 weeks for reviewing a novel, which is dependent upon the number of books our reviewers currently have on their list and which reviewer is assigned to the book. Our reviews are posted directly to our review site and Amazon unless the ranking is below a 3 (out of 5). In that case, we will email you first with a "heads up" and then it will be posted.  **Special note:  during the months of Sep-Dec, reviews may take an additional 3 to 5 weeks because of our annual event and the holidays. **

Because of the increase in books coming into our central location, we may not be able to notify you that your book has been received, but you're welcome to send a status request at any time.  All books are logged in at the Georgia location and then MAILED out to our team members, thus the turnaround time noted.  If you'd like your book reviewed before it's released, please send ARCs or galleys 3-4 months in advance.  To save money, use either 1st class or Media Mail since the mail is only checked once a week and books are mailed to reviewers two-three times a month. 

Also, please keep in mind that we request two review copies because our services are free and the book is our only "payment" for reviewing your book. Maintaining a site of this magnitude, buying shipping supplies, and mailing review books back out to reviewers costs money.  We do NOT return books, nor do we accept books with the covers removed. 

One last note, please understand that we receive quite a bit of email correspondence and incoming books to review. All email messages are answered, but there may be a slight delay. Feel free to contact us at any time after 10 weeks (via email) to follow up on the status of your review. But please, DO NOT email us daily.  If you haven't received a reply, odds are we didn't receive your email message.
