Review Policy

We at Litcast of Doom absolutely LOVE IT when authors or publishers reach out to us!  (Trust me, I get giddy like a cat with tinfoil.)  However, because of the weird little niche we’ve made for ourselves, we’ve got nice, cool REVIEW POLICY!

WE WILL ACCEPT:

– Print AND ebook copies (.mobi if you have ’em!)

– SCIENCE-FICTION AND FANTASY please!  If it falls in the realms of speculative fiction, we’ll take it!  If you think your book’s in a grey area, feel free to ask about it!

– Both adult AND young adult books!

– Bonus points for QUEER LIT (LoD is run by a queer enby and would LOVE to review your book!  We’re all about #ownvoices here folks!)

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT:

– Anything that does not really fall into speculative fiction (though I’m sure there are quite a few other blogs that would love to hear from you!)

– Anything MIDDLE GRADE OR LOWER!

– Anything glorifying abuse, assault, or violence (sexual or otherwise) against minorities

– Anything glorifying MENTAL ILLNESS

– Please, pretty pretty please, let me know if you kill off the dog.  Or the cat.  Any pets, really.  I’m soft.

HOW TO REACH ME:

– Scream into the void

– Tie your novel to your local crow (if none can be found, a raven is fine) and it will find me

– If all else fails, either hit up the CONTACT page or EMAIL ME at rgosch39@gmail.com!!!

YOU CAN EXPECT:

– A response within 2-3 days on whether or not I will review your book.  I have a loose-ish TBR pile and I’m always game to change it up.

– 99.9999% guarantee that I will record a review for the podcast

– 100% will leave a Goodreads or Amazon review

– A PROMISE that no review will be malicious

– A timeline as to when you expect a review – probably within 2-6 weeks of receiving the book, due to my varied reading speed and previous engagements, like my day job.

– If you’re giving me an advance copy that you would like reviewed in time for the publication date, please keep the cushion in mind!  I’d love at least 3 weeks’ time to work with, but more would be wonderful!
