So You’d Like To Be A Reviewer

Here are the rules for being a reviewer at Romance Authors That Rock

 

1. Only honest reviews {3 -5} hearts, if you can’t give it a {3} let me know as soon as possible. Most of our reviews are on a time line and if you are struggling we can move it to another reviewer.

2. Absolutely no sharing of the books with anyone; most of our books aren’t even out yet.

3. Please put in your review at the beginning that you got the book from the author, and

 Romance Authors That Rock for an honest review, so our authors know we

are doing our part.

4. Please post your reviews on Amazon and Goodreads  at a minimum if the book is already published

after we post the review. If not please be ready to post it when we ask you to.

5. Rating system is that we do fangs instead of stars:

{3} hearts – Is good but no rush to buy the next one.

{4} hearts- Is really good and looking forward to the next one.

{5} hearts – Is dying for the next one and will rush right out and get it.

6. Some of our books are erotic, some homosexual, and some bi-sexual books are sent

sometimes also; you must be willing to read all genres.

 

If you feel you can agree to these rules we would like for you to become one of our

reviewers. Please send me your email address that you would like to use to receive books

and I will send you your first one. The email address it will come from is:

jennystewart1100@gmail.com.

Here is a little helper we give to everyone. Make sure you always start the review with:

The book was a gift from the author and  Romance Authors That Rock for an

honest review.

 

Tips for writing book reviews:

1) Start with a couple of sentences describing what the book is.

About it, but without giving any spoilers or revealing plot twists. As a general rule, try to

avoid writing in detail about anything that happens from about the middle of the book

onwards. If the book is part of a series, it can be useful to mention this, and whether you

think you’d need to have read other books in the series to enjoy this one.

 

2) Discuss what you particularly liked about the book.

Focus on your thoughts and feelings about the story and the way it was told. You could try

answering a couple of the following questions:

 

• Who was your favorite character, and why?
• Did the characters feel real to you?
• Did the story keep you guessing?
• What was your favorite part of the book, and why?
• Were certain types of scene written particularly well – For example, sad scenes, tense scenes, mysterious ones…?
• Did the book make you laugh or cry?
• Did the story grip you, and keep you turning the pages?

 

3) Mention anything you disliked about the book.

Talk about why you think it didn’t work for you. For example:

 

• Did you wish the ending hadn’t been a cliffhanger because you found it frustrating?
• Did you find it difficult to care about a main character, and could you work out why?
• Was the story too scary for your liking, or focused on a theme you didn’t find interesting?

 

4) Round up your review.

Summarize some of your thoughts on the book by suggesting the type of reader you’d

recommend the book to. For example: younger readers, older readers, fans of

relationship drama/mystery stories/comedy. Are there any books or series you would    

compare it to?

 

5) You can give the book a rating, for example: A mark out of five or ten, if you like.

6) Do not post to Amazon until I tell you. And if you are having difficulty reading the book to

let us know ASAP.
