Book Review Policy
The Backwater Primer accepts review requests in the YA, horror, fiction, and some nonfiction. I will make exceptions for some scifi, dystopian, and fantasy novels. I love Amish Christian fiction and Christian fiction in general! I will not review any romance novels or biographies nor business or anything of the like. I accept review copies from large publishers, eBook publishers, and from requesting authors. I also will be more than willing and happy to accept requests from independent publishers, but if they’re not in the genres that I mentioned above, I will most likely decline. Please use the form at the bottom of this page to send your book quiry for review. Please also give a brief synopsis of your book, page length, title, and I will reply back to you within 24 hours.
Whilst I do my best to review books in a timely manner, in some cases, there might be a delay. Also, please be aware I do not and cannot review every book I receive, and I can’t accept every review request.
We accept review copies in paperback, but I preference is e-ARC copies, either in .mobi for Kindle or .pdf.
I’m super honest in my reviews, so pretty please with sugar on top, don’t go sending me hate mail if I give your book a bad review. I’m critiquing the book and not the author personally.
Rating Scale
This is whatI grade on:
A(+/-) = the book totally rocked the awesome train all the way to awesomeville.
B(+/-) = I really enjoyed the book, and it was a good solid read.
C(+/-) = I liked it, but there were some issues with it.
D(+/-) = I didn’t like it because of a LOT of issues we found with it.
F(+/-) = I really, really disliked your book.
DNF = I did not finish it because I got so frustrated that the temptation to chuck the book or my Kindle against the wall was very strong.
Thank you!
