Review Policy Explained

Review Policy
Explained

The following is the current review policy for my website markreadsbooks.com as of 28th September 2024, this supersedes any earlier ones for the website.

  • All review opinions are my own, I will only NOT, change things unless they are factually incorrect, a name of a character, for example.
  • This is a hobby of mine, so I will need about 60 days from acceptance to publication of the review.
  • I have a Kobo ereader so the best format for me is EPUB. If you supply an a book in a different format, I must be capable of convert it EPUB, if for any reason the conversion makes the book unreadable then I will not review it, if this is the case I will inform you as soon as possible.
  • I Publish reviews, on Amazon UK, Goodreads, Kobo, Waterstones, NetGalley, and BookSirens and this website marksbookreviews.com
  • If I agree to review the book, I will not enter into any agreement about not to publishing the review, if it falls bellow any given star rating.
  • IF I don’t finish a book, I will not post a review, but I will mark the book a DNF on Goodreads and as well as any content relating to wrap ups etc.
  • The star ratings used on a website I post a review on, then I rate the book in the following way:-

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Loved the book will highly recommend it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐   Enjoyed the book although their are some week points like the ending or something in the plot spoiled the book, but they did not distract to much form the book as a whole. Would still recommend it

⭐⭐⭐  The book was OK, had a few more points that I did not like, the recommendation would be based on genre of the book.

⭐⭐    Poor book. Had a large number of week points, in the book finishing was a struggle, will only recommend it to people based on genre and trope, of the book.

⭐      Bad book, has many week points that I stopped reading it, would have difficulty recommending it to someone, but will give a synopsis if asked.

  • Just because I have reviewed a book of yours before, does not mean I will, though I will be more likely to if I enjoyed the earlier book
  • I will always state, how I got the book for every review library, brought, or obtained free for a review.
  • I will only reply to any review requests done via my contact details, on this website.
  • All contact should be respectful on both sides, just because I decide not to review
    your book or posted a review that the writer or anyone else did not like these are my personal opinions and are solely based on the book itself.
  • Genres I read are as follows, literary fiction, historical fiction, sci fi, fantasy, war, female fiction, saga. This is not an exhaustive list, as I do read a wide range of genres, if your book is not in one of these genres then have a look at my reviews to decide if you want to offer me a chance to review you book.

Still here good, then if you want me to review your book then then go to me by the contact page Here
