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.
