Want me to review your book? Or maybe you’re a brand who’d like to work with me? You’ve come to the right place!

As a book blogger, I always have a huge stack of books I need to read. However, I am happy to consider reviewing and promoting other books too. If you’d like me to review your book, please read the info below.

If you’re a brand looking to work with me on a post, there’s also information on that below.

Book Review Requests

If you’d like me to review your book, please get in touch at hello@wonderfullybookish.co.uk or by going to the contact page.

Please include:

The title of your book
Who it’s published by
The release date
A summary/blurb of the book
The book cover

Please note that I can’t accept every request. This might be down to personal preference, or because I simply don’t have time to take on extra books right now. Please don’t be offended if I can’t accept your request right now.

Book formats

I will accept books in the following formats:

Physical copy (paperback or hardback)
Kindle eBook (.mobi) or PDF
NetGalley request
I will accept both ARCs/proof copies and finished copies

Genres

I tend to focus mostly on YA (young adult) books, but this isn’t all I’ll accept! I don’t have a specific list of genres that I will review; it will all depend on if I like the sound of the synopsis that you give me. However, I do particularly like to read the following genres (bold are my favourites):

Contemporary
Dystopian
LGBTQ+
Poetry collections
Short story anthologies
Fantasy
Mystery/thriller

When will the review be posted?

I always aim to read a book within a month of it being received. I am only one person with a pretty hectic schedule, so I can’t predict how long it will take me to read a book. If you’ve sent me a copy of your book, I will always try and send you an update if it’ll take longer than a month.

If you’d like the review posted before/by a certain date, e.g. publication date, please let me know and I will try my best to get the review published by the proposed date.

I will send you a link to the published review, as well as sharing it on social media (Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest).

PLEASE NOTE: If I accept your book to review, I am not contractually obliged to review it. If I can’t review your book right now due to personal reasons, other commitments, or because I don’t enjoy the book, there may be times when I will not post a review. Hopefully you understand that if a book isn’t for me, I’d rather not post a negative review.

I always ensure I read at least 15% of a book before making this decision, and in some cases I will give the book a second chance later on; in such cases I will let you know my decision. If I can, I will give the book to another blogger who may enjoy it or have the time to review it if I have your permission to do so.

Brands & PR

I post a variety of content – not just book reviews! A lot of this content is kindly provided by authors and publishers. Below is a list of things that I am happy to do. I’m always happy to do these things, so give me a shout and I’ll work with you!

Sponsored/gifted content: If you’re a brand who would like to sponsor a post or send a product in exchange for publicity or a review, please get in touch via email. I’ll only accept sponsorships/gifted items that I truly love and think my readers will love too. This also includes experiences such as invites to events.

Author interviews: I often interview authors that I am interested in or whose books I enjoy. Interviews are best to be conducted via email. If you’d like to be interviewed, I’ll need a couple of days at the most to think of the best questions! Note: Please ensure I’ve read one of your book before. I find it hard to ask questions to an author who is completely unfamiliar to me.

Giveaways: If I’m supplied with a book or an item to give away by an author or a publisher, I will be happy to collaborate. I can organise the details with you (for example, whether the giveaway is hosted via Rafflecopter, Twitter or via my blog itself, such as commenting on a post for a chance to win). I will also occasionally run a giveaway for an ARC that I have read and would like to pass on. As mentioned above, I will never do this without the permission of the author or publisher first.

Blog tours: I tend to only run blog tours through blog tour lists that I am already associated with. If you are organising your own blog tour and would like me to be involved, please let me know and I will follow the same guidelines as I stated in my review policy.

Cover reveals: I enjoy hosting cover reveals as they are quick to write and fun to take part in! If you’d like me to take part in a cover reveal for your book please don’t hesitate to ask and I will almost always get involved. Note: If possible, I would like to see the cover before accepting your request to take part in the cover reveal. Cover reveals can be done on my blog, Twitter, and/or Instagram.

Guest posts: I will accept guest posts from both authors and other bloggers. If you are a fellow blogger who would like a blog post written for you in return, please get in touch and we can organise this. Please do not request a guest post for SEO purposes only! See my submissions page for more details.
