As of April 23, 2014 we will be placing our request form on hold. As of right now we do not have a time to of opening but we will announce it on both the blog and Facebook.
Here at Bitten by
Romance, we believe in “Happily Ever After” (HEA)!
What types of books do
you review?
Adult Romance meaning, Paranormal,
Romantic Suspense, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Erotic Romance
Do you review Teen, or YA?
NO!! These will be declined. PERIOD even
if we accept the review.
We accept novels and
novellas, no ebooks under 55 pgs.
Do you review New Adult?
Yes, there are a couple of us here that will review New Adult.
Do you review New Adult?
Yes, there are a couple of us here that will review New Adult.
Do you review erotica?
No, we review romance
Do you accept
self-published books?
Yes, as long as it's
professionally edited by someone other than the author. We do read ARC copies
so as long as we know they are in the editing process that is fine.
We are all careful
about our reviews because we know authors work hard writing their books. We
keep in mind even if we don’t care for a book, someone else will. We give our
honest opinion in reviewing your book. We also do our best to not spoil a book
and if there are some spoilers, we warn first. We don’t share digital copies or
sell them, same goes for ARC copies.
Romance: The plot of a romance centers
around a couple that fall in love and have a “happily ever after” ending. This
is a must; there are no exceptions. If your couple is not happily in love and
together at the end of your book, it’s not a romance. It might be a love story
(in which case, it would go under women’s fiction) but a romance has to have a
"happily ever after." You can have subplots, but the main plotline
must be about the couple’s romance. Now, there are so many subgenres to the
Romance genre (many totally unique to romance)
If you are an erotic
romance author sending a request for a book with ménage partners, please tell
me what kind of sex partners are in the book, like F/M/F etc. Below is a list
what we read, so you can kind of get an idea of how long the wait for reviews may
be.
M/F/M 4 reviewers will
read this.
F/F 1 reviewers will
read this.
M/M 2 reviewers will
read this.
M/M/F 2 reviewers will
read this.
F/F/M 0 reviewers will
read this.
Hard core BDSM 2
reviewers will read this
Light BDSM 4 reviewers
will read this
D/S 4 reviews will read
this
We reserve the right to
refuse submissions, at any point, as we see fit. I have to state this because
sometimes no matter how good the blurb sounds, we may not like it enough to
finish it.
Book submission does
not guarantee a review. If you send a book and we choose not to review the
material, the book will not be returned.
The time frame for your
review to appear can be up to 2 months. We enjoy reading but we each hear have
a life and that life comes first and far most. Again this is a hobby not a job.
Formats accepted: PDFs and
paperbacks are fine. Some of us have Kindles and others have Nooks. If you can
provide a copy for these devices, please let me know in the email. It is much
easier reading from an e-reader than a computer.
Reviewers: If you want a certain reviewer,
please let us know in the form when you request the review or if you’re sending
an email please add the reviewer's name into the subject. Once you are placed
with a reviewer, I like to keep you with them each time you come back because
we tend to get use to an author and vice versa. Unless in some cases where the
reviewer you use is too overloaded and you need the review done quickly or your
reviewer is no longer with us, I will find someone else to review your books.
All reviews are first come first served, so if you have an ARC copy it will still have to wait its turn.
Now how to be reviewed
on Bitten by Paranormal Romance: You
need to fill out the form below. The staff members look over the request and send
out an email directly to the authors they choose. If you’re a publisher that is
requesting more than one book then please email @
bittenbyparanormalromance(@)gmail(.)com
Please don’t just email
us gift from Amazon without asking, It WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
We will not be
contacting you unless your request has been accepted.
I
hope I have covered everything, if not please let me know.
Thanks,
Laurie
