Independent Editorial Reviews

Honest reviews for indie novelists

About Read and Reviewed

If you are a self-published author, you already know how difficult it can be to get your book into the hands of readers, and how much honest reviews can matter.

Read and Reviewed was created to offer a simple, transparent review process for independent authors. I read and review each accepted book myself, and all reviews reflect my genuine response to the story.

Where possible, I read books through Kindle Unlimited. If your book is enrolled in KU, I will read it through the Kindle platform. If your book is not available through Kindle Unlimited, you will need to provide either a review copy or a free reading link.

Reviews are currently free for books under 90k words.

Each review will be at least 300 words

I will post my review on Goodreads and any other relevant book sites you request. However, I cannot guarantee that I will post it on Amazon if I am not reading via Kindle Unlimited.

My reviews are honest and reflect my genuine engagement with the book. Before accepting a submission, I will read the blurb and, where available, check the sample to make sure it suits my reading tastes. I reserve the right to decline submissions, and if I am not engaged by around page 30, I will let you know rather than continue with a review that may not do the book justice.
