I only review books, products, and experiences relevant to the subjects of this blog, namely:
See below for more details
Book Review Policy
- Literary Fiction
- Place-based fiction & non-fiction
- Classics
- Historical fiction
- Travel- or reading-related memoirs
- Travel books
- Books relating to tea or books
I do not accept YA (unless it falls into one of the above categories), erotica, sci-fi/fantasy, or Christian fiction.
I can accept books as physical copies (preferred) or Kindle format.
I do not write or post individual book reviews or adhere to a strict timeline for posting. More likely, I will include it in a related post, such as a place-based book list or recommended reading list. If the book does not meet my expectations, I may not include it in any posts.
Product Review Policy
I enjoy reviewing and sharing a wide range of products. Any product must relate to one of the following and be a product I would personally use:
- Books and reading
- Travel
- Tea
- Chocolate
Reviewing a similar product does not preclude reviewing your product as well.
I will not return any product unless it is agreed upon in writing prior to receipt of the product. In the case where a review is not published, the sponsor can request the return of the product (at their expense).
Companies should contact me in advance regarding desired level of visibility and payment proposal.
Please review the policy for all reviews below before querying.
Experience or Hotel Review Policy
One of my passions is participating in and writing about travel, specifically book-related or inspired travel. I am open to offers of experiences relating to these things, such as bookish hotels and literary tours.
Due to the more expensive nature of experiences and hotel stays, if I accept a sponsored experience, I will guarantee at least one post relating to it. The number, nature, and timeline of posts will be negotiated before the experience is accepted by both parties.
Policy for All Reviews
If I choose to accept a book, product, or service to review, all reviews will be fair and honest. It may appear as a solitary review (less common), or on a list of titles or experiences, such as my list of Books Set in Italy, my Top Travel Gear Picks, or my list of spooky literary places to visit.
It may be weeks to months until the book, product, or service appears on my blog, depending on my personal and professional schedule and also whether or not the book, product, or experience resonated with me or was of sufficient quality. If you have a specific timeline in mind for your product, service, or book, please include this in your query letter so I can accept or decline based on that time frame.
Whatever type of post chosen, it may be promoted on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, subject to negotiation.
I am also open to collaborating on giveaways, interviews, guest posts, social media takeovers, ads/sponsored posts (purchased), ambassadorships (purchased), and other collaborations.
All sponsored posts are labeled as sponsored as per the FTC guidelines.
