Review policy

Hello there! I’m honoured that you are considering me to review your novel!

I am currently open to review requests. However, please do read the review policy before contacting me.

Before you send the review request:

Please understand that this is my hobby. Currently, the average time for the review is 3-4 weeks. However, this depends on the ever-changing workload and may differ.

If the book is an ARC, I will do my best to make the review ready on the release day and posted on the blog, Goodreads, and on Amazon, unless you specifically request the review to be sent to you ahead of the release day.

I reserve the right to not publish the review of your book, if I don’t feel comfortable doing so - it could be because I’ve run out of time, or didn’t have anything to say about it, etc.

All my reviews are honest and there is a possibility that I won’t enjoy the book. It could be because I’m not a good fit with the genre or the story. I acknowledge that some genres are not up my literal alley, and I will do my best to remove the bias from the review.

I invest time reading a book and I reserve a right to tell about my experience. However, even if the review is not positive, it will always be respectful - it’s natural to defend your creation, but please understand that not every reader will enjoy the reading experience.

What I read:

  • Fantasy
  • Sci-fi
  • Mystery/thriller
  • Historical fiction
  • Occasional horror

What forms I accept:

  • Physical copies
  • Digital copies (mobi or PDF)
  • Audiobooks - as a last result

How to send the review request:

If you've read the review policy and feel like you'd like to work with me - awesome! The best way to get in touch is to send an email to hello@ofbooksandcoffee.com

What you should include in your review request:

  • The summary of the book
  • The release date (if it’s an ARC)
  • Preferred platform to leave the review on

I look forward to hearing from you!
