Reviews written on WORD are entirely mine. I review a book as soon as I finish reading it. I cannot guarantee when or if a review of the book will be posted, only that there will be a review posted once I read it. I can't guarantee that a review will be a positive review, only an honest one.
Please note that I do not accept e-books.
Age: young adult; adult crossover
Preferred genres: historical; fantasy; steampunk; science fiction
Genres not accepting: most paranormal; most non fiction
Versions accepting: ARCs; published books
Versions not accepting: bound manuscripts; e-books
Did you read that? I do not review e-books. If you email me and are requesting an e-book review, I will just delete the email, as I appear to be developing a twitch from nobody reading that bit. You have been warned.
Though I'm still accepting books for review consideration, it's worth noting that between my huge to-be-read pile and my schoolwork, I'm being super selective. I'd still be more than happy to have a guest post, giveaway or interview happen if I can't review it.
If you'd like a book (or other item) to be considered for review, just shoot me an email at wordforteens [at] gmail [.] com. To see a list of past reviews, click here.
All interviews consist of up to eight questions which may-or-may-not have anything to do with writing or books. I do interview authors I have read and authors I haven't read. To see previous interviews, see my sidebar or click here.
Authors, agents, other various book people: feel free to contact me if you wish to be interviewed or have an author you wish to be interviewed.
I adore guest posts - what's more fun than a post that I don't have to write? If an author wants to write a guest post, they can write about whatever they want. Writing, 80s movies, roleplaying - it's all been done, and I loved every post. Topic is author's choice.
I do have the right to say no to an interview or guest post if I don't believe that the author will fit well on my blog or if I'm just too scheduled for the moment. Sorry!
If you're interested in being interviewed or doing a guest post, send me an email at wordforteens [at] gmail [.] com.
I love giveaways and try to hold them whenever possible. As of now, all entries are hosted through Google Forms, and none of the information is kept once prizes have been sent out. If you want me to host one, I'm open to it, (again wordforteens [at] gmail [.] com) and we'll work out the details. Winners are notified via email and only followers of WORD can enter unless you specify that you want something different.
I am in no way compensated for any reviews of review copies I receive from publishers, agents and authors. Please note that all queries re: taxes, the FTC, etc., will be directed to editorial director Lisa Iannucci.
All private information given to this site - for instance, the address of giveaway winners - is not sold or kept on file for longer than it takes to ship out an item. I highly recommend only posting your first name or using a screen name when commenting on my site. I do not have any control over the content in the sites I have linked; any information on them is not mine.
