Hello! I am grateful that you are considering the Buzzy Bookbee (BB) to review your novel!
I am currently available to accept review requests. However, I do retain the option to reject a request when I feel I will not be the best reviewer for your book.

Although I am not a very picky reader, like most readers, I do prefer certain types of books. Please see below a list of the genres I do enjoy reading:

YA:

  • Romance
  • Dystopia
  • Historical Fiction
  • Historical Romance
  • Fantasy
  • Mystery
  • Contemportary/Realistic

Adult

  • Mystery
  • Romance – Contemporary & Historical
  • Women’s Fiction “Chick-lit”
  • Historical Fiction
  • Literary Fiction

What Formats will I accept?

  • digital copies (I have a Kindle)
  • Audiobooks (on a case by case situation)
  • physical copies (only if you are based or have offices in South Africa)

What information do I require in a request

Please include the following information in the request:

  • Genre
  • Word count
  • Summary of the plot.
  • A timeline for the review. We both need to commit to this to prevent any disputes at a later stage.
  • Any additional information you feel is relevant to the request.

What to expect when I accept your request?

Even after accepting a review request, I still retain the option of not reviewing the book on my blog and social media pages. I will always try my best to review every request I have accepted on a timely basis, however, in the rare case, that I could not finish the book I will inform you.

If the book is an ARC, I will post the review as close as possible to the publication date. Kindly keep in mind that I will only be posting once a week and not every post will be a book review.

In the case where I am unable to keep to the agreed-upon timeline, due to unforeseen circumstances, I will contact the writer/publisher to make arrangements for an alternative deadline.

What happens if I do not like your book?

There is always a chance when sending out your work to be reviewed that the feedback is negative. All the reviews, on my blog and social media pages, are solely my own opinion, and I will not accept payment in exchange for reviews. I will always be honest and respectful, and I will never attack the writer or the writing style as I believe it takes a lot of courage to put your work out there. I welcome comments on my post, but please keep them civil and respectful as these will be open to the public.

Other requests I will accept:

  • Cover reveals of current published series.
  • Guest blogging request – either to blog on my page or to write a post for your blog.
  • Author interviews
  • Blog tours

I am not interested in:

  • marketing blitz campaigns
  • guest bloggers on topics that do not fit a book blog.
  • paid reviews

Final thoughts

I will always try and reply to every request I receive, but due to time constraints, this might not be possible. If you have not heard from me within seven days, please consider your request unsuccessful.
