Review Guidelines

Reviews

I am more than happy to receive review requests. I will review any genre, but as this is a hobby I will choose to read those books that appeal to me and so I don't guarantee a review. I also cannot guarantee a time frame for the review either, though I will try to turn it around within a reasonable time and will also drop you a line when I finish and publish the review. I cannot guarantee you a 5* review but will provide an honest opinion and explain the rating so that readers can make an informed choice. 

I don't accept payment for reviews, although, as this blog is run as a non-profit hobby, if you request a review I do expect you to provide a complimentary copy, which can be e-mailed, provided as a Amazon gift or through the use of a coupon. Accepting a copy does not guarantee a review nor does it guarantee a high rating; all my reviews are an honest reflection of the book. I prefer Kindle formats, but as long as your book does not have DRM I can convert formats if you do not provide an Kindle version. 

To request a review either fill at the form at the bottom of this post or e-mail tomesofthesoul@gmail.com with the following: 

-A copy of the book

-A summary of the book including information on the genre

-An optional summary of you as a author, including any previously published work

-An link to where readers can download your book

-Any optional discount being offered to readers (this can increase intrest in your book)

In turn I will provide on the site:
-An honest review posted on Tomes of the Soul
-A picture of the cover
-A summary of the book
-Links to where readers can purchase the book

As well as including the review on the blog I can also post reviews to Amazon, Smashwords and similar sites if you request it, and I reserve the write to edit, post, share and delete any reviews. You, as the author or publisher, are welcome to use the whole review or 'snippets' on your website, e-book or promotional material as long as this site is referenced, and if possible please let me know if this is the case. If I choose not to review your book or simply do not have time, your book may be mentioned in a promotional post instead.

Promotions

I am more than happy to promote your book on the site AS LONG AS it is being offered free or at a discounted price for readers. This can be a limited time offer, a permanent price change or accomplished via a coupon or discount code that can be distributed via this site. In rarer cases, I will promote a book which is not discounted or free, but this is done on my discretion.

I am also open to hosting book give-aways for both agency, indie and self-published authors. If this would appeal to you please e-mail/fill in the form to discuss details. 

If you wish to promote your book please e-mail me at tomesofthesoul@gmail.com or fill in the form below. As with all my blog work, I cannot guarantee to use, promote or review your material, but will try, where possible, to let you know what I intend to do.
