Review Policy

Thank you for considering me to review your book! I am currently open to review requests, but I am not open to requests from self-published authors unless I have previously reviewed one of your books. I also prioritize reading physical copies over ebooks.

At The Whimsical Olive, I review general fiction. My reviews are completely honest and I will explain in detail how I felt about the writing style, plot, and characters. Writing is my passion and I love being analytical, partaking in discussions, and sharing my thoughts to others. I never knew the importance of reviews until I became heavily invested in media and communications as my pastime; I now dedicate myself to writing reviews in order to return the favor the book and film community brings.

The reviews I write will always be posted on my blog as well as on Goodreads. If I do not respond to your email within a week, it is likely that I have declined your request. However, you can feel free to message me on other social media platforms if I don't respond within 24-48 hours.

  • General Fiction
  • Fantasy 
  • Romance
  • Dystopian
  • Paranormal
