I'm back on Reedsy Discovery in 2025! Hello again everybody!
Going into 2025, here is what you can expect from my reviewing policies:
-I am opening a limited number of monthly book review slots here on Reedsy Discovery for indie fantasy/sci-fi books in 2025.
-Reedsy Discovery is the only place I will accept ARCs/review requests, and reviews for those books will be posted here on Reedsy Discovery.
-I will personally purchase any book I plan to leave a retailer review on (typically on KDP). I will not leave retailer reviews without personally purchasing the book, and I typically do not leave retailer reviews on books I cannot rate at least the 3-star 'worth reading' ranking.
-I will NOT accept review requests NOR post a public review for a book I was an editor for, though that doesn't mean you won't see some excitement from me around those books' launches.
I use Reedsy Discovery's official rating scale regardless of the platform my review is posted on. That scale is as follows:
1-star: Skip It
2-star: Not for Me
3-star: Worth Reading
4-star: Loved It
5-star: Must-Read
Before selecting me to request a review, please be advised that I'm known for leaving blatantly honest reviews based on the current genre expectations I see trending right now. I try to leave clear explanations about my chosen rating in all my reviews.
Please know that if I do not choose your book to read/review this year, it is not because your book doesn't look like a good book, but more so because I am simply one mortal woman only so many hours in a day.
Thank you all for understanding! Happy reading.
