Guidelines for Submission:
I won’t be taking any more indie-published work for a while. Workload and getting on with my own novel means I haven’t been able to get through them as quickly as I might have liked. No more submissions will be accepted (at all) while this message is in place
I welcome indie-published work so if you would like me to read and review your book, with a brief description and an approximate word count. When finished, your review will be posted here, Good Reads and Amazon.
I have no interest in the following:
- Religious literature – which includes New Age Spirituality, whether in fiction or non-fiction format
- Self-help books of any flavour. This would include New Age stuff like “The Secret”, PUA literature and other pseudo-psychology
- “Chic lit” – anything where the primary focus is family bonds, romance and/or erotica (on the last point, I’m no prude, it’s that I have yet to find any erotic writing that I find even remotely interesting)
- Misery-lit - it just isn’t for me. If you don’t know what it is, please click the link
