Review Requests

I’m in a really fortunate position where authors often contact me to review their books. I am truly flattered every single time and it’s a huge compliment when somebody who worked so hard on something would like me to review it.

Unfortunately though I can only accept a small number of these requests simply due to time constraints, existing commitments and trying to get through the books I already own.

Please bear this in mind that it isn’t personal and I offer my apologies in advance if this is the case.

I am a UK based blogger and the bulk of the review requests I take on are for:

  • Adult Fantasy. Mostly I prefer stories inspired by the Middle Ages as this is the period of history I’m interested in. I’m not a big fan of urban or ‘modern feeling’ fantasy in general but you never know!
  • Historical Fiction. Again I have a passion for the Middle Ages, Britain primarily and prefer books set in the period of roughly 400AD to around 1500AD.

I also accept review requests for:

  • Sci-fi
  • Horror
  • Non fiction in the genres of history, the natural world, evolution
  • I haven’t received any requests yet but I would also be open to physical ARCs of children’s books targeted at ages of around 3-5 yrs old.

I am not currently accepting review requests for:

  • Modern thrillers
  • Romance
  • Comedy
  • Horror or crime with a storyline/focus on rape, torture, terrorism, domestic or child abuse

Thanks for understanding!
