Review Policies

Review requests need to be sent to loud.words.and.sounds@gmail.com, and if you follow the guidelines and policies below the process will be easier for you and me.

Categories and Genres Accepted:
Young Adultincluding all genres
Adult- including Romance, Comedy, Paranormal Romance, and Urban Fantasy
AND
Shojo Manga- including all genres

Formats Accepted:
EPub, PDF, Hardcover, and Paperback copies are accepted
 (EPub and PDF are given priority)

Other Things:
  • Reviews after being added to the list, will receive their reviews in about one week to three months after being finished. This is due to a large amount of review back up right now.
  • If you are requesting a review on a book further into a series, I will ask if I could have a copy of the predecessors in the series, for it’s not fair to judge one book without seeing the rest.
  • There is no rating system in my reviews. I only comment on what I liked and disliked about the books in the reviews.
  • All reviews are HONEST.
  • I try to finish all the books I read, however if I can’t get into a book and I see no way I can read it then I will give up on that book, typically I try to read at least 50-100 pages of a book before giving up.
  • I will happily accept any advanced review copies, do interviews, work with blog tours and host contests or giveaways.


What You Need to Include in Your Review Request:
If you include all of these things in your request, I can figure out if I can review your book or not, quicker. Please include:
  • Book Title
  • Author’s Name
  • A Synopsis of the Book
  • A Website Link for the Book and Author
  • Release Date
  • Contact Information


How I decided to Review a Book:
I don’t accept every review I receive; books will be accepted because of personal interest. If I accept your book for review, I typically email you back within a week or two, depending on what is happening in my life at that point. I will not send an email back if I have decided not to read your book; if you’d like to follow up on a request that is appreciated.

Music Reviews:
Music reviews are on a case to case basis, and shown through Tunes Thursdays, I typically listen to rock and alternative rock, so please send an email to loud.words.and.sounds@gmail.com to see if I would like to review your piece of music.

Disclamer:
All books I review are either from publishers, authors, friends or bought by myself. I do not accept or receive monetary compensation for any reviews or mentions on Loud Words and Sounds.
