Review Policy

I welcome review requests from publishers, publicists and authors, and will consider reviewing books of all genres. I also enjoy bringing attention to interesting and thought-provoking books, self-published books, and books that “fly under the radar”.

I will make every effort to post reviews for the books that I accept for review. I cannot guarantee reviews for books that are sent without my prior approval.

Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, or have a book you need reviewed.

Reviews

Book reviews may take anywhere from 1 to 6 months to be posted unless I agree to post on a specific date. If you’re looking for coverage during a specific period of time, please clear the date with me prior to sending the review copy.

Books are reviewed by me and a team of dedicated reviewers. Each review will have a “reviewed by” at the top, and a byline at the bottom with some information about the reviewer. At this time, I cannot accommodate requests for a specific reviewer, and all books are distributed based on the reviewers’ preferred genres.

We write honest and unbiased reviews regardless of the source of the book. Please know that sending a gratis review copy is not a guarantee of a positive review. We stand by our reviews and I will not honor any requests for review revisions, i.e. changing a negative review into a positive one.

In addition to posts on Luxury Reading, book reviews are occasionally cross-posted on Amazon, LibraryThing, GoodReads, Shelfari, and other book sites.

Press Releases

If I cannot accommodate your request for a review, I’d be happy to post a press release or information about the title. Please contact me for rates and availability.

Giveaways

I believe that giveaways raise excitement around a book, and am always happy to accept requests from authors and publicists who wish to sponsor a giveaway. Although Luxury Reading is dedicated to books, giveaways are not limited to books and book-related items.

The sponsor of the giveaway is free to choose the duration of the contest, specific rules, prizes, etc. Please e-mail me for details.

Disclosure

I receive free review copies of books from publishers, promoters and authors. Occasionally, I will receive a free non-book product for review. The source of the book or product is disclosed at the end of the post. Receiving free books or products does not influence the honesty of a review and is not a guarantee of a positive review.

In 99.9% of cases, I am not paid to do a review. In the rare instance that I receive compensation for a review, the fact is fully disclosed in the beginning and end of the post. As with uncompensated reviews, receiving compensation is not a guarantee of a positive review.

I invest my own time to review and test products. I pay out of my own pocket to ship books to my team of reviewers.
