Pitch me a book

I read widely and review honestly. If you’re an author or publisher and think your book fits, I’d love to hear about it.

How reviews work

  • Reviews are free. Send a copy; if I read it, I review it honestly, good or bad.
  • A copy doesn’t guarantee a review. If it isn’t for me, I’ll tell you privately.
  • I review the book, never the author.
  • Every review says how I got the book.
