BOOK REVIEW POLICY & DELIVERABLES

  

 At BookFoodLanguage, every review is guided by the principles of honesty, transparency, consistency, and respect for both authors and readers. The following outlines what publishers and authors can expect when providing a review copy.

1. Review Copy

  • I currently accept hard copy (physical) books only for review.

2. Honest Review

  • Every review is honest, unbiased, analytical, and independent.

3. Review Timeline

  • Reviews are normally published within 15 days of receiving the book.
  • A PDF copy of the published review will be emailed to the publisher or author for their records.

4. Review Format

  • Each review is approximately 500 words.

5. Disclosure

  • Every review carries a disclosure statement acknowledging the source of the review copy.

6. Purchase Link

  • An Amazon purchase link, wherever available, will be included in the review for the convenience of readers.

 

Review Promotion

The review will be published on:

  • BookFoodLanguage Blog
  • Amazon
  • Goodreads
  • X (formerly Twitter)
  • Facebook
  • Instagram

While sharing the review on social media, the publisher, author, and illustrator (where applicable) will be duly tagged to maximise the visibility and reach of the book.

Depending on the suitability of the content and the policies of each platform at the time of publication, the review may also be shared on:

  • Substack
  • Medium
  • Boloji
  • Pinterest
  • Other relevant literary and blogging platforms.

 

Rating Policy

I follow a consistent editorial rating policy across all reviews.

The highest rating awarded is 4 out of 5 stars. This reflects my commitment to maintaining credibility, avoiding rating inflation, and ensuring a fair and uniform standard for every book reviewed.

 

 Additional Review Requirements

If you require:

  • A review with a promotional tagline
  • A video review or Instagram Reel in addition to the written review
  • Any other specific review or promotional requirement

Please communicate these requirements at the time of sending the review copy.

 

Editorial Standards

  • Every review published on BookFoodLanguage reflects my independent assessment of the book.
  • Reviews are written with integrity, fairness, and respect for the author's work while providing readers with a thoughtful and balanced evaluation.
