BOOK REVIEW POLICIES
OPEN FOR REVIEWS!
If interested, please read the policy carefully before submitting. Note: I reserve the right to DNF a book at any time.
What type of books do I review?
Nico Bell
Books 80,000 words or less. Horror books, please :) . Bonus points for b-film vibes/camp/bonkers horror. Please note I don’t accept fantasy of any kind, even if it’s a horror fantasy.
DO NOT SEND ME ANY BOOK THAT CONTAINS SEXUAL ASSAULT ON THE PAGE! One of the reasons I stopped reviewing in the past was because I set this boundary and authors thought it didn’t apply to them. If you violate this rule, I will not review your future work.
How long does it take for a book to be reviewed?
I try to review in a timely manner, but I make no guarantees in terms of publishing a book review in a specific time frame. For some, it may be as quick as a week while others may take several months. It depends on my personal schedule and my TBR list. I’ll do my best to try and accommodate publication dates, but when you submit for a book review, you are acknowledging that the process may take awhile longer than you anticipated. It’s totally appropriate to email me a polite reminder if your review hasn’t been posted.
Do you accept eBooks?
Yup!
Where will my review be published?
You can expect your book review up on Goodreads and Amazon (if Amazon permits it), and it will be published on my website blog either as a standalone piece or with another book of similar genre. Also, I will create a TikTok book review video (@nicobellfiction) as well as post on Instagram (@nicobellfiction). I’ll give an honest review in exchange for an ARC, but please note if the book is a 3 star or lower, I won’t tag the author.
Where can I submit?
Just head over to the contact page and drop me an email! Or, catch me on social media by sliding into my DMs (nicobellfiction). Thanks for trusting me with your work!
Please note, it saddens me to have to turn down book review requests, but sometimes the book isn’t the right fit or I simply have too much on my plate. I try my best to respond to requests in a timely manner, but if you don’t get a reply in seven days, please consider that a pass on the request.
