Book Review / Disclosure Policy

~ Book Review Policy ~

Authors, Publishers and Publicists:

Jersey Girl Sizzling Book Reviews does accept author requests for book reviews that are not associated with a virtual book blog tour! All author requested book reviews will be posted in between scheduled virtual book blog tour events. If interested, please contact me, Kathleen Higgins-Anderson at jerseygirlbookreviews@yahoo.com.

Due to the amount of emails that I receive on a daily basis, I will only respond to emails for author requests for book reviews that I am interested in reading/reviewing.

Please note that the estimated turn around timeline for a book review is long due to the amount of requests that I have received, and there is no guaranteed timeline for a review as it can change as I receive more requests. I will contact you when the book review is ready to be posted on this blog site. If you have a specific date in which the book review needs to be posted by, please advise me of this requirement when you submit your book review request, and I will do my best to try to accommodate your request.

This blog will only feature book reviews and virtual book events from the romance and erotica genres.

1) Book Title & Cover Art, Description, Genre
2) Author Website
3) Copy of Book: I accept the following book formats: I generally read on a Kindle, the mobi format is preferable; but I will also accept PDF files (Adobe Reader), ARCs, Galleys, Paperbacks and Hardcovers.

I reserve the right to keep the books given to me for my personal library, to loan them to other readers, and/or to offer them as promotional giveaways for my blog site followers/visitors.
