REVIEW COPIES BEING ACCEPTED
Thank you for your interest and for visiting our Review Policy page.
Review Copies are currently being accepted by Moonlight Gleam’s Bookshelf. It would be a pleasure to accept review copies, join in blog/book tours, host contests, host author guest posts, and author interviews (see below for more details).
Self-published and Indie authors are also welcome to submit review requests.
We also enjoy reading a series in order, therefore, we require that the previous books be sent along with the current novel you wish for us to read and review.
We would also like to express that sending us a review copy does not guarantee a review, but we will post a review for each review copy that we read. Additionally, we do not work under a time-limited frame, however, we will do our best to review the books we receive in a timely manner.

This will be specified on each review. We also do purchase many books which we keep and read for later review. Our reviews will always be honest and stay fair to the author and we do not accept/receive monetary compensation for our reviews.**
We will make sure to post a review of an ARC (advanced reader's copy) within the month surrounding the release date unless asked otherwise. Note: If there is a specific date you wish the reviews to be posted, please indicate it within your message.
Giveaways and contests: It would be a pleasure to host a contest or book giveaway, as well as provide links to promotional information – as requested by publishers or authors.
We will never sell an ARC (Advanced Reader’s Copy) and will always ask permission if we wish use them in book giveaways or contests.
