Review Policy

Thank you for your interest in Shelf Indulgent Reader. I look forward to working with many of you! Some key info is below!

​

CONTENT:

As well as standalone reviews, I'll be producing recommendation features based on genres and styles. I'm also happy to take part in blog tours, share extracts and feature author Q&As.

GENRES:

I read incredibly widely across genres, so I'd be interested in hearing about all books, but particular genres I enjoy are:

​

- Book Club / Literary Fiction

- Translated Fiction (particularly East Asian fiction)

- Fantasy / Sci-Fi

- Historical fiction (particularly historical crime)

- High concept or literary crime / thrillers

- Non-fiction, particularly memoirs, history, science and medical
- LGBTQ+ fiction and non-fiction

​

FORMATS:

I prefer to read physical copies, but am also happy to read eBooks. I'm active on NetGalley so widgets are hugely appreciated.

​

Self-published authors, writing in the genres above, do get in touch!

 

HOW TO GET IN TOUCH:

I'd love to hear from you on shelfindulgentreader@gmail.com for review, blog tour and any general requests. 

​

I'm also on Twitter at @Joe_Thomas25 and my DMs are open for requests!

​

Ts AND Cs:

Please note, acceptance of a review copy doesn't guarantee a review or coverage on Shelf Indulgent Reader or social media. Similarly, any unsolicited books will be considered but no content is guaranteed. 

​

I do not ask for, or receive, payment for any content on my blog or social media.
