TUL Book Review Policy
Welcome to The Uncorked Librarian! Below, find my complete book review policy for publishers, writers, authors, and marketing teams. Please also read my about page and how to work with me to ensure that we are a good fit. I greatly look forward to reading your book(s)!
Quick Review Information
The Uncorked Librarian is currently accepting advanced reader copies (ARCs) and newly published titles issued no later than 1 to 2 years after the publication date. Occasionally, I make an exception for an earlier released title. I rarely write single-article book reviews. All ARCs and gifted books will be considered, but not obligated, for round-up reading lists. I update book lists throughout the year.
Before reaching out to me, Christine at hello [at] theuncorkedlibrarian.com, please read my entire Book Review Policy.

Where TUL Shares Book Reviews
I love sharing books with readers across the globe. Below are just a few of the channels I use to get the word out about a worthy title. I also appreciate when authors and publishers share our links as well as tag The Uncorked Librarian @theuncorkedlibrarian.
Please let us know if and where you quote us on your marketing materials.
Limitations Of Reviewing
I love reading, but unfortunately, I cannot accept every request to review. I will consider all email queries, but I cannot respond to every email. If you have not heard from me in a timely fashion, please assume that I am unable to accept your request for a title at that particular time. Please only email me once per request. Please do not spam me or add me to your mailing list without permission.
If I agree to review a title, I may review the book within a week or even months of receiving our copy. I may also choose not to review at all.
Book Review Policy Disclaimer
By contacting me with a request to review, you acknowledge and respect that I am obligated to write my honest opinion. All assessments are my own and are not meant to be biased or cause harm in any way.
Upon receiving and reading a title, if a book is poorly edited, in bad taste, or does not catch my interest, I reserve the right to decline a review. I may or may not inform you.
From 2021 to 2023, The Uncorked Librarian worked with paid writing contributors. All opinions are their own.
