In Lizzyland, you'll find all sorts of creative goodies for Indie authors to promote themselves and their books. One way is by visiting the fabulous Jenn. She's as addictive as choclate doughnuts and more fun than the county fair on wristband night. She helps Indie authors by reviewing their books and interviewing them on her blog.
Because I can't put into the words the awesomeness that is Jenn, I'll let her speak for herself on how her review process works and what books she accepts for review. Prepare yourselves. Here's Jenn:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I understand how hard it is to put yourself out there and let someone in on your baby so to speak. When I read a book, I keep that in mind and will ALWAYS be respectful of you and your work.However, I am also honest.
One of my main requirements is this:
You must be prepared for some constructive critism.
You must be prepared for a less than 5 star rating.
If that is not satisfactory to you, it is in BOTH of our interests that you don't ask me to review your work. I will not lie but as I said, I treat both you and your work with the utmost respect.I only say this because I have had a bad experience with an author who was not so happy that I didn't give them 5 stars. I RARELY give those. 5 stars is for books that I LOVE, will re read, and can't get out of my head.
I have rated over 401 books on GoodReads.com and it says my average rating is 3.67.
I just want you to be fully informed before you contact me. That being said, if you still want me to review your hard work here's how I do it.
Obviously I read it ;)
I contact you once I start it and once it is finished.
I will email the review to you first before I post anything, anywhere.
YOU have the choice of if you want it posted and where.
The genres' that I read are as follows:
Paranormal (Not a big fan of shifter stories though, sorry)
Horror
Suspense
Thriller
One type of book that I just can't read is erotica. (Sorry, again!)
I prefer a format that I can download on my phone whether it be Kindle or Nook I will accept PDF, however, as I do read from my phone, it will take me longer to read a PDF version because a phone has such a small screen. Taking breaks will keep my eyes from bleeding. Really wanna impress me?
I LOVE sarcasm, quick wit and lots of action. Twists, turns and unforeseeable bombshells rock my face off!
I also secretly long to read a book where for once the guy doesn't get the girl or vice versa. Eh, call me jaded.
If after reading this and you are STILL interested, AWESOME!
Email me and let me know!
I really look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Jenn P
