Review Requests

Please send review requests via email to lisa.reads.between.the.spines@gmail.com.

When submitting a request, please be prepared to send a copy for review. In your request, include the book title, author, publication date, synopsis, and any links to obtain additional information.

I do not respond to requests that direct me to purchase a book. I also retain the right to not post a review of a book at my own discretion.

Format

Print copies (galleys or finished copies) are much preferred due to their ease in photographing, promoting, and giveaways. E-books are accepted via NetGalley or appropriately formatted for Kindle. Only nonfiction genres are accepted as audiobooks.
