OUR BOOK REVIEW POLICY

*Submissions are open.*

At our website, we review indie fantasy and sci-fi books and aim to provide our readers with honest and unbiased reviews. We take pride in our commitment to promoting independent authors and their work, and our book review policy reflects this dedication.

  1. Selection Criteria We select books for review based on several criteria, including but not limited to:

  • Genre: We only review books in the fantasy and science fiction genres.

  • Independent Authors: We prioritize books written by independent authors or small presses.

  • Quality: We prioritize books that show potential and that are well-written, engaging, and offer a unique perspective on the genre. Our reviewers choose which takes their fancy but we will try to get to as many as possible.

  1. Review Process Our reviewers read each book carefully and thoroughly, taking notes and highlighting key points throughout. They evaluate each book based on the following factors:

  • Writing style: Is the writing engaging, clear, and effective?

  • Plot and pacing: Is the plot well-developed, and does it move at a good pace?

  • Characters: Are the characters well-developed and relatable?

  • World-building: Is the setting and world-building well-crafted and immersive?

  • Originality: Does the book bring something new and fresh to the genre?

  1. Review Publication- Our reviews are published on our website and Substack and may also be shared on social media platforms. We reserve the right to edit reviews for clarity, length, and adherence to our policies.

  2. Disclosure We are committed to transparency and honesty in our reviews.

    Feedback and Appeals - We welcome feedback from authors and readers and encourage authors to contact us if they have any concerns or questions about our review. If an author feels their book was unfairly reviewed, they may appeal to have their book re-reviewed by a different reviewer.
