We Read Science Fiction

In the past 2 weeks I’ve had 3 separate requests to review an author’s book. This seems to be coupled with the fact that there has been a 2-3x increase in the number of daily readers and a 2x increase in our RSS subscription. Cool!

However, I do have some rules when it comes to solicited reviews…

To authors and publishers, here are our terms for reviewing your books:

1. They must not be self-published or be from a print-on-demand publishing/printing house.
2. We reserve the right to not complete the review before the release date.
3. We reserve the right to not finish reading the book if we do not enjoy it. We will not publish a review if we do not complete the book.
4. We reserve the right to publish an honest but negative review if we do not enjoy it.
5. We reserve the right to lend the book to other SciFi fans we know personally so that they may participate in the review and discussion process. This may happen before we publish the review, and may delay the publication until after the release date.
6. The books will not be returned to the author or publisher. They become the personal property of the primary reviewer.

If you’re still interested in sending us your book, contact us.

To readers and potential reviewers:

We occasionally get books that we are requested to review. If you’d like to be eligible to get these free books, then you must be a regular participant in the comments on existing reviews, and you must contact us to let us know a bit more about you.
