Hello Readers!
The following registration is for those that are interested in reading and (hopefully) reviewing my works. I occasionally send out review copies of new or older works in the hopes that these books will find their audience. These are given entirely free, with no strings, although I hope you will leave an honest review somewhere on the internet.
Before you sign-up, you may want to read some general principles of how I operate:
1. I do ask for social media handles- but the size of your followers does not factor into whether you will receive a copy. This is merely a vetting process to make sure I'm not sending my work to someone who regularly exposes unsavory views (like racism, sexism, etc.) or with a history of harassment. I'm not going to go through your entire internet history, but I will do a perusal to make sure this isn't the case.
2. This is unpaid. I won't pay for reviews, either favorable or otherwise.
3. I don't read reviews*. I'm not going to go and dispute any critical or negative review you might read. This way you can be comfortable enough to give your honest opinion.
4. Please do not re-distribute any e-copies or photocopies of physical copies. If you want to give away or gift a physical ARC that is fine, I would just prefer to not be a victim of piracy.
5. Gifting of either an e-copy or physical copy is not guaranteed, nor is there a specific time table. So if you don't get an immediate response, that's because I may not have copies to give at that time. But when copies do become available, you should be contacted. Entry is on a first-come-first-served basis after the vetting process.
6. You must be 18 years or older to fill out and receive a copy.
7. Please read up on any triggers of the works you are applying for ahead of making your selections where available. You can find these under each book section on my website: lauradiazdearce.com
*Every once in a while someone will point me to an especially nice or funny review and I will read that, but I don't go hunting for them.
