Review Policy

If you are a young adult publisher or an agent of a young adult author and you would like me to review your book, please email me (addressed to Jessica) at booksatruestory@gmail.com.  I am also willing to work with indie and self-published authors if you don’t have an agent.

Review Requests need to include a direct link to the book you’d like me to review on Goodreads (or Amazon, or your blog), a book cover, and a synopsis in the email.

I read young adult and middle grade books.  I like to read sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, paranormal romance, fairy-tales, re-tellings, and fiction.

I will not read horror or books that have explicit sex, graphic violence, and excessive language.  Any YA book that has “PG13″  content is fine.

I accept Kindle compatible format ebooks (No PDFs) and print books, but ebooks are preferred.

I post my reviews on my blog, Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Priority is given to Advanced Reading Copies of books.  I can’t promise a time frame of when I will review your book.  I can’t guarantee a review on my blog if I accept your book for review.  I will not post a review of your book if I didn’t finish it.  The biggest reason I don’t finish a book is because of objectionable content but I reserve the right to not finish a book for any reason.  I post reviews for books that I don’t like, but I keep my reviews as professional as possible.

If you give me a book for review, you are accepting these policies and the fact that I may give your book a negative review.  I do not accept books for review where a positive review is required or expected.

I am more than willing to participate in blog tours, author interviews, giveaways etc. to help promote your book.  I will post promotional content for blog tours, but I will no longer post reviews for blog tours.  I will not accept books for review if the review must be posted by a certain date.
