Reviewing is not an easy
task. Be it a book or a product or a movie, it takes immense patience and
critical observation skills to identify the drawbacks in the midst of perfect
presentation.
Here are some fun facts and
some not-so-fun-facts about my reviewing and the policies that come along:

FORMAT
OF THE REVIEW COPY (that I prefer)
Ø Paperback

Ø E
books (with a maximum page count of 150) (subject to availability of time)
**Signed copies and paid reviews will get
a preference over other books. I will review such copies on special priority.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A REVIEW
Ø Once
I receive the review copy, I will inform the concerned author about the same.
It will take between 10-15 days to review a book.
Ø In
case you opt for unpaid review, the review will be posted on my personal blog
(Yes, this one) and on any two online portals, on which the book is available
Ø However,
in case you opt for paid review, the review will be first published in some of
the online e magazines (where I am a regular contributor). After a week’s time,
I will publish the same review on my personal blog, followed by all the
available online portals
Ø The
review may or may not have criticism, depending upon the content
Ø The
views expressed, will be my very own and they will not (in any case) be influenced
by the author or the publishing house
Ø I am
open to hosting guest blogs, performing author interviews, and conducting
promotions/giveaways
Ø I
will give my feedback solely based on honesty and integrity that I believe
in
Ø Any
form of criticism in my review will be for the book itself and no offense will
be intended to the author or the publication house
COMPONENTS OF A REVIEW
In my reviews, you will
generally find:
Ø Title
of the book
Ø Publishers
Ø Rating
Ø Book
image
Ø About
the author (in some cases)
Ø Summary
of the plot
Ø My
opinion
Ø Drawbacks
(if any)
Ø Links
to buy the book
**The format of the review can change,
keeping intact the above mentioned sub-headings but adding some additional fun
stuff.
WHAT
I NEED FROM YOU
If you want me to initiate a
giveaway or a blog tour, then please inform me on a prior basis, indicating the
number of copies you are willing to give away.
