Mom and I are pleased to announce that the review request queue officially re-opens TODAY.
That being said, kindly note that we accept less than half of the review requests that come our way. And please note our submission guidelines. You’d be surprised at how many people blow their review chances by not bothering to read our submission guidelines. Skip that step, Buttercup, and you’ve just increased the chances of a rejection by a factor of ten. Maybe more.
Cuz guess what? When it comes to our submission guidelines, we’re sticklers. And we always know who has and hasn’t read our submission guidelines. Always. So don’t even go there on the latter, okay?
While we’re on the subject, sort of: Don’t be that author who telegraphs Lazy Rank Amateur from a mile away. Cuz when it comes to books we are and are not interested in, we’re like, really picky. Cuz we’re busy. So kindly don’t waste our time pitching a book that’s clearly outside our interests.
Another no-no
Don’t be that author who chucks your entire book at us and assumes we’re gonna review it. Just cuz you sent it.
Newsflash, Toots: That’s not how it works here. You send us a query with a few details about genre, book length, a summary, etc. And we decide whether or not we’re interested in reviewing the whole book. If we agree to review your book and you get a green light for same, then you can send us the whole enchilada. When we ask for it. And not before. Got that?
Here’s How
So if you’ve read the guidelines and think your magnum opus is a good fit for Pages and Paws:
- Give us a holler at kikero@juno.com.
- Put “Review Request” in the subject line so we don’t miss it. (No guarantees, but dog lovers often move to the head of the pack. We’re just funny that way.)
Please note again: We typically accept less than half of the review requests that come our way. (You wouldn’t believe some of the kitty litter fodder we get.) So to reiterate:
Pages & Paws
