Review Policy

I am currently NOT actively ACCEPTING REVIEW REQUESTS.

I’m honored you’re considering Paging Serenity as a place to feature your book. But before you contact me, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could read my review policy first. My review policy is straightforward, and I promise it will not take long to read. If you feel your book is a good fit for me, you can contact me through the email address listed at the bottom of this page. However, please note that due to time constraints, I will not be able to respond to every request.

What I’m Not Willing to Review

  • Horror
  • Nonfiction
  • Any books focused on religion and/or politics

What I’m Willing to Review

My favorite genres include:

  • YA fantasy, especially dystopians
  • YA mystery / thriller
  • YA contemporary / realistic fiction
  • Adult romantic comedy

I am willing to review books that are part of a series, but please note it might take a little longer for me to review as I do not read series books out of order. I will read the books before it first, and that may take some time.

Preferred Format

I do accept e-books as long as they are in the formats of PDF or E-PUB. Please note it takes me a bit longer to read e-books and physical copies will be reviewed first.

It is also easier for me to feature physical copies on my bookstagram account, which has over 5,000 followers if that’s something you’re interested in.

Timeline for Accepted Requests

Reviews will be published the month of or after the book’s release date unless otherwise specified. Reviews will always be posted on the blog, and occasionally on other sites if requested. (I’m willing to post the same review from the blog on Goodreads and Amazon also.)

Other Types of Promotion / Partnerships

Besides reviews on this blog, I am also willing to participate in blog tours. I’m also open to promote books across my social media accounts if requested. All you have to do is email me the details, although I try to limit how many I do.

How to Contact Me

You can contact me by filling out the form on my Contact Me page or at reviews@pagingserenity.com.

Please understand that sending me a request does not guarantee that I will read and review your book or even promote it. Thank you for your consideration!
