Review Policy

Thank you for considering Chick Loves Lit for your book review!

I am currently accepting pitches for young adult books only. No self-published books unless I have previously read something from the author, please. I accept all formats of ebook for review, though prefer those compatible with my Kindle.

My genre preference is contemporary, followed by dystopian and paranormal. I am not interested in historical fiction, fantasy, or horror.

My reviews aim to feature the positives of a book. If I am no longer interested in a book after 50 pages and I have agreed to review the book, I will pass it along to another blogger. Unsolicited books will be given away either on this blog or to a library or school.

Basic statistics for this blog are available here. If you need any other specific information, I would be glad to share it with you. I have around 1600 Twitter followers and 1000 Chick Loves Lit Facebook friends.
