Dear, Restless Reader: Reviewing Policy/Requests

Publishers and Authors: I choose to review books based on my own personal preferences. I do not earn money to review books, if anything is promotional it will be stated. This is a site for fun and blogging about great reads!

SHOOT ME AN EMAIL HERE! FOR REVIEW AND PROMOTIONAL REQUESTS.

*Blog Stats - 2,500 a month and growing!*

NOTE: It may take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months for a review to be posted so please be patient. I review books at my own leisure and have a life too. As for ARCS I will always try to read/review before the release date or on or around that time to coincide with promotions. There is the possibility that I may accept a book and not be able to read or get around to it at all which is unfortunate, but it happens. Please take this into consideration and please know that I take reviewing seriously and will make an effort to review everything I've accepted, thank you!

*I'm happy to participate in blog tours, host giveaways, and any other author/book promo events!*

*I accept .mobi (Kindle ebooks) and physical copies ONLY.

I accept ARCS (Review Copies)/bound galleys/finished copies.

Addressing me by my proper name is welcomed. It is located on my blog.

Do not spam my inbox or request form. One request is enough. If I get multiple emails regarding your book I'll skip them. Pressuring and solicitating reads or reviews won't be tolerated!

If I do not reply back it means I have not accepted your request or haven't gotten to it yet. Patience is appreciated greatly!

Physical copies always take priority over e-copies.

I would appreciate if you can include all links, a cover image, and pertinent information about your book or promotion in your request.

Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, and my blog +socials.

I also network my reviews through Instagram, X (Twitter), as well as through email + Book groups/events.

IMPORTANT: I usually will not read books out of series order. You must be willing to provide all prior books in a series for review as well. Only in certain circumstances will I consider reviewing a book that I've not read the previous ones beforehand typically Comics/Manga.

The only opinion expressed is my own, and I will review books honest and fairly. I will include both positive and negative reviews. I am not paid to read/review author's books only asked in return for an honest opinion. I will post lesser rated books, and remain honest with my feedback as everyone should be real with their remarks so will I.

NOTE: All books received by Dear, Restless Reader will never be distributed, copied, or sold without the written permission of the author or publisher.

I am not responsible for any damaged/lost prizes for giveaways. When you enter a giveaway you accept these terms. Anyone under the age of 13 cannot participate unless specified otherwise. The winner will be contacted within 24 hrs. Once contacted the winner must reply within 48 hrs or a new winner will be selected.

*If you want to use a review quote of mine for your book please email me before doing so. I reserve the right to my own written expressions. You can contact me directly via email - seirra@dearrestlessreader.com.*
