If you are an author/publisher, we strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the reviewers’ reviewing style and read over our preferences carefully before contacting us. If you are interested after reading the below, please email us at willreadforbooze@gmail.com

We are accepting review requests on a limited basis. Once a review request comes in to the email, we will send to the team and see if any of us are interested in reviewing. We will respond within 3 days to serious requests. We prefer print or ePub formats.

Small note: If your book has diverse representation or is own voices, please identify that in your email.

We reserve the right to refuse to review a book, but understand that if we do review your book, we will review it per our usual style, honestly and while drunk. We do not READ the books drunk, but our reviews are our drunken unfiltered thoughts. The only edits we make prior to posting is to ensure the Author and the Title are spelled correctly. Additionally, a negative review is of the book and not the author.
