Review Policy

Review Policy

The Book Pushers accept review requests in the Romance, YA, Steampunk, Paranormal and Urban Fantasy genres. We accept review copies from large publishers, ebook publishers, and from authors requesting. We are also more than willing and happy to accept requests from independent publishers, but if they’re not in the genres that we mentioned above, we will most likely decline.

Whilst we do our best to review books in a timely manner, in some cases, there might be a delay. Also, please be aware we do not and cannot review every book we receive, and we can’t accept every review request.

Self Published Policy:

Previously we had a policy of not reviewing any self published books on the blog. This has now changed. We will be reviewing self published books, but we will only be reviewing copies that we have solicited or bought ourselves. This is due to the vast number of self published titles that are out there.

We accept review copies in paperback, but our preference is e-ARC copies.

We’re super honest in our reviews, so pretty please with sugar on top, don’t go sending us hate mail if we give your book a bad review. We’re critiquing the book, not the author personally.

Our review guide has been changed from 5 Stars to the letter grade. This is what we grade on:

A(+/-) = OMG, the book totally rocked the awesome train all the way to awesomeville.

B(+/-) = We really enjoyed the book, and it was a good solid read.

C(+/-) = We liked it, but there weres some issues with it.

D(+/-) = We didn’t like it because of a LOT of issues we found with it.

F(+/-) = We really, really disliked your book.

DNF = We did not finish it because we got so frustrated that the temptation to either chuck the book or ereader against the wall in frustration is very strong.
