Whether you are a new-to-this-site author, a debut author, or a legacy author, Amy's Bookshelf Reviews wants to remind all authors and representatives, the last updated policies for requesting a review. There have been some changes, and I added new places to post for a small donation. It is taking me longer to post reviews, not including reading or listening to the book, and writing the review, while trying to follow the rules for each site, and to be fair to all authors. (And of course, I am also on a quest to read banned books).
If you are a legacy author, you send an email, with the word "legacy author" in the subject line to amysbookshelfreviews@gmail.com (updated email address)
Authors who make their first request, must fill out a form (Unless otherwise instructed by a connection on social media).
The digital format preferred is PDF. However, the following digital formats are accepted.
Audiobook: Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews would like to listen to the book (whether it has already been read or not) and write a review to reflect not just the story but the audiobook itself. (Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews will need a redemption code or a donation made in order to purchase the audiobook) Amy's Bookshelf Reviews can't post reviews without a purchase on audible.com)

Book Sirens Reviews (If your book is on Book Sirens, I can request the review copy to do the review, and once approved, I have 30 days to review it, so the title will automatically be added to the VIP-PRIORITY BOOKSHELF for a $5.00 donation) (If there isn't an approval for Book Sirens to receive the ARC copy, I'll need the digital copy sent to me and will post a review for the donation cost).
Kindle Vella: donation for the cost of tokens (first three episodes are free) (Amazon has a few options for the amount of tokens, 200 for 1.99, 525 for 4.99, 1100 for 9.99 and 1700 for 14.99.)
(If the author is sending a print copy, autographed preferred), a digital file is required.
