REVIEW POLICY

Posted by: The Book Vixen

Updated October 23, 2010

Hi and Welcome to The Book Vixen! Thank you for showing interest in having your book featured on this site. I am currently accepting books for review for January 2011 and forward. In addition to book reviews, The Book Vixen is also happy to participate in virtual book tours, host author guest posts and host giveaways for books.

What I accept

The Book Vixen will accept books for review, author interviews, author guest posts and contest/giveaways in the following genres:

     ♦ Contemporary Romance
     ♦ Paranormal Romance
     ♦ Romantic Suspense
     ♦ YA (coming of age, romance)

I will accept ARCs, galleys, finished copies (paperback or hardcover) and eBooks (.prc, mobi or PDF formats preferred).

I will consider and respond to all requests, however I may not accept all requests. I am selective in my choices; I tend to pick books that I think I will enjoy reading. While I try to only accept books for review that I think I will enjoy, I cannot and will not guarantee a positive review. My reviews are my honest assessment of the book which is in no way affected by the source of the book. On occasion, books received for review may be reviewed by a guest blogger.

I will NEVER sell a book that I have received for review. This applies to ARCs, bound copies (galleys or finished copies) as well as eBooks. I NEVER copy, forward, share, distribute, trade, or in any way infringe on an author’s copyright regarding an eBook I have received.

Rating System

The Book Vixen uses a 5 Frog Rating System:

     5 Frogs – It was AMAZING! Get this book now!
     4 Frogs – I really liked it. Put it on your TBR list.
     3 Frogs – I liked it.
     2 Frogs – It was okay. Get it from the library.
     1Frog – I didn’t like it. It wasn’t for me.
     DNF – Did Not Finish and I’ll tell you why
