Review Policy

We love reading and being able to share our thoughts with others. We especially enjoy helping to promote new, up-and-coming authors and their books. To do this, we are happy to accept review copies of a book, ARCs, hold author interviews, participate in blog tours, and host giveaways.

Genres that we enjoy include (but are not limited to) young adult, paranormal romance, fantasy, dystopian, and some historical and literary fiction.

Digital copies (PDF or ePub) files can be accepted; however, only very select self-published books will be accepted for review.

Our reviews will include:

Cover art
Publication details
Rating
Synopsis of the book (usually taken from Goodreads or the jacket flap)
Personal thoughts about the book

Please know that either (or both) of us may be reviewing your book. We will try and post all reviews in a timely manner, but due to time constraints it may be a month or two before the review is posted. When completed, the review will be sent to our Twitter account (@BtweenTheCovers), our Facebook page (Between the Covers Blog), and posted on the respective reviewer's Goodreads profile.

Note: Our reviews are our honest thoughts and opinions about the book. We do not accept payment for our reviews.
