Review Policy
Hello Authors and Publicists,
It seems you have stumbled upon my book review blog! Perhaps you would like to send me a book for review.
You can contact me with a review request via email, simply remove the parentheses or click the link: goodbooksandgoodwine(@)gmail.com
What I Review:
I prefer to review Young Adult books of all genres.
I am starting to fall in love with the historical romance genre and am willing to review romance.
I enjoy reviewing audiobooks.
I will not accept most non-fiction. I will not accept self-published books.
Where Do My Reviews Post?
I post reviews on my blog, on goodreads.com, librarything and to amazon.com where I am a Vine Voice. I post links to my reviews on twitter where I have over 3,550 followers. I am @booksandwine. If you want me to post a review elsewhere, please let me know and I will be more than happy to post it!
What Is My Turn Around Time?:
Typically my turnaround time is 1-2 months. I place priority on books I have requested. My second priority is on books accepted for review. If you send a book to me, I will try my best to read it and review it in this time-frame.
EDIT: 10/29/2011 – My turn around time is going to be delayed until after January 2012, because I am currently a judge for the CYBILS awards and my reading priorities are going to focus around the CYBILS. That stated, if it’s an audiobook, I can likely have it read within a month of you sending it (I have an office, work out, and drive a LOT).
Other Ways I Can Promote Your Book:
I am more than willing to promote your book by hosting interviews and a guest post, as well as giveaways for your book. I am also willing to participate in blog tours. I will never try to sell your book on ebay, but I may give your book away. Remember, people get super excited about giveaways, so they may get super excited about your book.
I am an honest reviewer, if your book is wonderful I will sing it’s praises. If your book was not so good, I will post why I felt that way in a constructive manner.
Formats I Will Review:
The formats I am willing to review: egalleys, ARCs, galleys, finished copies and audiobooks. I prefer physical books though, as they are a visible reminder of what I need to review.
I do accept ebooks in Kindle format. I will only accept ebooks from traditional publishers because I don’t have time to wade through anyone’s slush pile. My turnaround time for ebooks is from 3-4 months. If your book is on Netgalley and you would like me to review it, please let me know!
My Stats:
You can check my sitemeter to verify how many hits I receive per day. Currently I range from 500-700 unique visits per day an average of 1,041 page views per day. I have over 1000 RSS subscribers. I employ SEO coding and have a google page rank of 5.

I’m impressed by reading your review policy, which seems to be well-thought-out, clear and concise. I’m pleased also by your willingness to promote my book in several different ways besides the review. My new book, published June 15, 2011, is He Trots the Air. It is not self-published. It is a mystery/suspense novel, suitable for young people. In fact, two of the characters are young people. One of them, a young woman, puts her life at risk at the climax of the book. If you would like to get a taste of the book, you can go to my blog/website, www.mmfisher.com, where you will find the whole Prologue and other material about the book. Thank you very much for your website. I hope we can work together. I’m sending you another e-mail with my request. Sincerely, Marilyn M. Fisher
