Thanks for your interest in submitting your book(s) for review. The
RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (TRR) will review all books we receive. There is NO FEE for this service.
Please DO NOT QUERY US. If you send the book,
we will review it. We also review electronic books for advanced
reads -- but not for books which are in print, unless under special
circumstances.
**UPDATE 05/08: We're having a baby!! Well, not all of RAWSISTAZ,
but Tee is expecting her second child in June, so any books sent in June-July
may not be processed until early August.**

SPECIAL NOTES(for those who didn't click the above link)
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 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 15 member team, 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 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.
