Supporting Indie Authors I Want to Hear From You: My Book Review Policy Like most authors, I love to read, and have immersed myself in books since I was a kid. In an attempt to support other indie authors, I read and review a lot of indie books. I will review all YA fiction, except anime and horror. Please send me a link to your book on amazon. My policy is to purchase all books that I review. If I choose to review your book I will ask for a jpg or png of your cover, and links to your website, social media and amazon author page.
For examples of YA books I have reviewed, follow the links to the right. I evaluate books on a five-star score, and post reviews on my website, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and Goodreads. If I feel that a book does not warrant at least a three-star rating, I will not review it. (Like my mother used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.") My reviews are meant to be supportive. And while I will always be kind, I will also always be honest. Sometimes it's hard to receive less than glowing feedback. Believe me....I understand this from personal experience. But if presented as constructive criticism, this feedback helps both the reader and the author.
Please be patient! I receive many requests, but will get to them all. If I do review your book, I will email you when I have posted my review, and will include a link to the review on my website. (Don't be surprised if I show you in your inbox a year after you've submitted your request!)
I look forward to hearing from you! If you have trouble using the submit buttons on this page, send an email to amy@amyruthallen.com.
