Review Policy
Young Readers is happy to accept review copies (books and audiobooks) from authors and publishers. This site is specifically interested in board books, bath books, picture books, early readers, and chapter books. Books designed for children under the age of 9. My other site, , Becky's Book Reviews looks at books for readers aged 9 and up. (Though sometimes there is an overlap of material.)
My policy has always been that I review everything that I finish. If I read it, I review it. (I do strive for honesty in my reviews. If you don't want my honest opinion of a book, then don't ask me to review it. If you ask for feedback, feedback is what you're going to get.) By receiving a review copy, I am not guaranteeing that I will review it. But if I finish it, I will. If you are interested, please send me an email at laney_po AT yahoo DOT com.
Authors, publishers. I am interested in interviewing authors and participating in blog tours. (All I ask is that I receive a review copy of the author's latest book beforehand so the interview will be productive.) Contact me if you're interested.
For the record, I'm interested from hearing from independent, small publishers as well. I give each book an honest evaluation. The size of the publishing company doesn't sway me when I'm reading or reviewing a book. The quality of the writing is the only thing that matters to me.
