Review Policy

DISCLAIMER: All opinions and reviews are mine and mine alone. They do not reflect or are influenced by my employer, Bloomsbury Publishing. 

I am more than happy to accept books for review for my blog. But before submitting your book please read my review guide below to see if it is the right fit for my blog!

Please send all book review requests to wilddinosaurrdoes@gmail.com

I prefer to read printed books, but I do have a Kindle.

The genres I read and talk about on my blog generally include:

  • Young Adult Fiction – especially Fantasy/Sci-Fi
  • Sci-Fi
  • Fantasy
  • High Fantasy
  • Poetry
  • Cookbooks
  • Graphic novels

I work with a % review system that roughly translates to the following:

  • 100% – Amazing read, definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait for more from this author.
  • 75% – Really strong book, still recommend but there was something that just couldn’t get me to that WOW level.
  • 60% – Strong book, I enjoyed this book during my weekend reading.
  • 50% – This book was a decent read, nothing special but not bad either.
  • Less than 50% – I won’t post a review of. I’m about building author’s novels up, not tearing them down with negative reviews.

Please note: If you send me your book for review there is no guarantee I will post one, or the timing of the review, as I do work full time.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been going through Over the last few weeks I’ve been going through some heavy duty editing of my novel which has been so rewarding seeing it come together better than ever. But being sick this week I took a break and drew out the world map and Academy map from my book which was a lot of fun. Looking forward to finishing these edits in the next month so I can start sharing with beta readers!! ✨#editing #mapmaking #fantasymap #fantasynovel #fantasybook #novel #writer #currentlywriting #betareaders #novelwriting #manuscript #manuscriptedits

In the spirit of reconciliation I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. The land on which I work and live belongs to the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
