MYLIFE. ONE STORY AT A TIME. is now accepting products for review. Please email me at mylife.onestoryatatime@gmail.com. Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\nThank you for taking the time to visit and for considering me to review your book. I do, however, ask that you please keep in mind that book reviewing is not my job, nor I am not a professional reviewer. I\u00a0read<\/a>\u00a0and review\u00a0books<\/a>\u00a0simply because I love to read.\u00a0The reviews here on my blog are strictly my opinion. Some of the books have been sent to me by either the publisher or the\u00a0author<\/a>\u00a0for review, others are of my own choosing. I will always try to give an honest\u00a0book review<\/a>, and as thorough a review as possible (which does not include\u00a0regurgitating\u00a0the book blurb<\/u><\/strong>); but, if you are craving further information about the book, please leave a response with your email and I’ll be glad to correspond with you. I also do not review every book that is pitched to me. I reserve the right to choose those that I think will interest me. The best way to have your book be considered for a review is to include all<\/strong> the information listed below in your contact email. I will not follow links to read a book blurb. I simply do not have the time.<\/p>\n A New Feature:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n First Chapter Critique\/Publish<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n I am opening up a new feature on my blog in January 2013.

Any author or publisher, etc. who\u00a0would like to submit the first chapter for publication along with mylife.(dot)onestoryatatime@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n As stated above, I reserve the right to decline to review your book. Please continue reading for additional information pertaining to the genres that I will\u00a0and will\u00a0NOT\u00a0<\/strong>accept. If your genre is among the NOT acceptable, please do not\u00a0email\u00a0me. I reserve the right to refuse any submissions that do not meet the\u00a0requirements. \u00a0Please include the author’s information with the submission.\u00a0Thank you.<\/p>\n For\u00a0Publishers<\/a>\u00a0and Authors:\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n I accept print or ebooks\u00a0(mobi\u00a0file for\u00a0Kindle<\/a><\/strong>)<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>.\u00a0I read on\u00a0a\u00a0Kindle<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0therefore\u00a0require a\u00a0mobi\u00a0file (can be gifted via Amazon<\/u>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n I also\u00a0WILL NOT<\/u>\u00a0accept any files that are not\u00a0saved as\u00a0the title of the book.

\u00a0guest post may be offered as\u00a0part of a tour, pre-publication promotion, or at any other time. I will\u00a0only post one (1) guest post per week, so please contact me several weeks\u00a0in advance to schedule a date. Authors should keep in mind My Life.

Occasionally, I encounter a book that\u00a0I simply cannot get through, and\u00a0I\u00a0reserve\u00a0the right not to publish a\u00a0review if I cannot complete the\u00a0entire book, or just do not care for it.\u00a0<\/strong>This is, in fact, to the advantage\u00a0of the author. If I can locate\u00a0a positive review,\u00a0I will sometimes post a link to that site.<\/p>\n
\nAND, your choice\u00a0of<\/u><\/p>\n
\n-Barnes and Noble
\n-Books-a-Million
\n-Amazon<\/p>\n
\nIt varies, depending on the number of requests I receive and accept, but at this\u00a0particular\u00a0moment,\u00a0my time frame is approximately two-three months.<\/p>\n
\nAND IN RETURN?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
