Review Policy/Disclaimers

Requests from publishers, publicists and authors are welcome! I would love to:

• review your book
• host an author interview/guest post
• join a blog tour
• host a giveaway

Please contact me at: ashleylovesbooksblog [at] gmail [dot] com

I accept finished copies, ARC/galley copies, audiobooks, and ebooks (iPad or Kindle app compatible)

I do NOT accept self-published books and interactive media books.

Per my blog description, I will accept Adult, New Adult, Young Adult and Middle Grade novels.

Genres that I happily accept for review:

• contemporary
• romance
• mystery/thriller
• Dystopian
• science fiction/paranormal
• historical fiction
• humor
• steampunk
• "tough" stuff (depression, disease, etc.)
• celebrity memoir

Genres that I will NOT accept for review:

• Non-fiction
• Erotica
• Political-driven novels
• Christian/Religion-focused novels
• Self-help

All reviews include:

• cover image
• summary (from Goodreads or Amazon)
• book details (publisher, number of pages, US release date)
• starred rating

I will make every effort to read and review in a timely manner regarding the release date, with the review posted within 1-2 weeks of the date and a link e-mailed directly to the publisher who provided the copy.

As a trained journalist and longtime reader, I believe in the integrity of words and writing meaningful, thoughtful reviews.  However, these are still my own personal opinions and I cannot guarantee I will love or even like all books.  I do promise to start every book with an open mind and the hope of enjoying it.

In the event that I do not like a book, I may write a review to reflect the belief - but I will always do my best to explain my thoughts and present the book in an open, honest manner to still invite readers. If I choose not to review it, the book will still be mentioned in a Weekly Wrap-Up/Stacking the Shelves and possibly a DNF/DNL (Did Not Finish/Did Not Like) Friday post, with a brief explanation as to why I did not like it and at what page I stopped.

Please contact me (ashleylovesbooksblog [at] gmail [dot] com) with any questions or concerns; I check my e-mail frequently and will do my best to respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for your interest!
