Book Review Requests

I am currently accepting requests, including indie and self-published books! However, I am only taking books for consideration.* That means, even if I do accept a copy of your book, I do not guarantee I will end up reading it.

*This does not apply to blog tours, author review groups, or any other situation in which a review has been expressly agreed upon.

Genres I Accept:
– Fantasy/Paranormal
– Science Fiction

Within Those Genres, I Accept:
– Young adult and adult (I have no problem with sex scenes, strong language, violence, or dark themes/content)
– Regular novels and graphic novels
– All types of romantic relationships (including LGBT+)
– I do enjoy a romantic element, but it’s not required

Formats I Accept:
– mobi or epub for ebooks (I do not accept PDF for regular ebooks)
– audiobooks (Audible, or let me know if you use something else)
– PDF or print for comics / graphic novels (for print, I live in the US)

Series:
– I love series! But you will need to provide any previous books I have not yet read.

How Soon I Post:
– I cannot give a time frame right now.

Where I Post:
– Goodreads
– Amazon
– I may or may not post a review on my blog. I’m more likely to post reviews here for books I give 4+ stars to.
– Currently I do monthly updates where I share brief thoughts on all the books I’ve read that month.
– I may also mention your book(s) in other types of posts, like recommendations based around a topic.
– Note: I usually don’t contact authors after reading/reviewing the book, unless it’s requested, because I don’t want authors to feel obligated to read my reviews.

If I Dislike the Book:
– If I rate the book less than 3 stars, I may or may not post a review anywhere.
– If I don’t finish the book, I will not post a review.

In Your Email, Please Include:
– Description of the book
– Link to the book on Goodreads and/or Amazon
– If the book is part of a series
– What format(s) you’re offering

If you’re interested in having me review your book, email me at kristenburns.contact (at) gmail (dot) com

I can’t respond to every request, but rest assured I check my spam folder just in case, and you should hear from me within a week if I’m interested in receiving a copy!

Note: If I’m not interested in one book but in the future you write a different book, feel free to email me again about the new one, my tastes are very book-specific!

Game Review Requests

I also review visual novels, dating sims, puzzle games, point and click games, management sims, and other similar types of fairly low-stress games! You can find all my gaming blog posts and reviews here.

If your game has any accessibility features or is made with Ren’Py (which has self-voicing built in), I’d love to know so I can mention them in my review!

If you’d like to offer me a copy for review, email me at the address below:

*Please note, I do not accept demos for review, only full games.*
