Submit Your Book

Thanks for your interest in submitting your book(s) for review. The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (TRR) will review all books we receive.  There is NO FEE for this service.  Please DO NOT QUERY US.  If you send the book, we will review it.  We also review electronic books for advanced reads -- but not for books which are in print, unless under special circumstances. 

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
- Fill out the form below (and print a copy before submitting)

- Read the SPECIAL NOTES (which address most questions). 

- Mail 2 copies of your book and a press kit (bio, book info, tour schedule, etc) or the printed form from above. (Media Mail is recommended)

- Use Delivery Confirmation if you want to know when it is received as we are not staffed to email you upon receipt

Please DO NOT just send your book as we have no way of contacting you. At a minimum, just include the book title, release date, your email address and website address.

SPECIAL NOTES (for those who didn't read the SPECIAL NOTES above)
We estimate 3-12 weeks for reviewing a novel, which is dependent upon the number of books our reviewers currently have on their list and which reviewer is assigned to the book. Our reviews are posted directly to our site (www.blackbookreviews.net) and Amazon unless the ranking is below a 3 (out of 5). In that case, we will email you first with a "heads up" and then it will be posted.  **Special note:  during the months of Sep-Jan, reviews may take an additional 3 to 5 weeks because of our annual event and the holidays. **

Because of the increase in books coming into our central location, we may not be able to notify you that your book has been received, but you're welcome to send a status request at any time.  All books are logged in at the Georgia location and then MAILED out to our team members, thus the turnaround time noted.  If you'd like your book reviewed before it's released, please send ARCs or galleys 3-4 months in advance.  To save money, use either 1st class or Media Mail since the mail is only checked once a week and books are mailed two-three times a month. 

Also, please keep in mind that we request two review copies because our services are free and the book is our only "payment" for reviewing your book. Maintaining a site of this magnitude, buying shipping supplies, and mailing review books back out to reviewers costs money.  We do NOT return books, nor do we accept books with the covers removed. 

One last note, please understand that we receive quite a bit of email correspondence and incoming books to review. All email messages are answered, but there may be a slight delay. Feel free to contact us at any time after 10 weeks (via email) to follow up on the status of your review. But please, DO NOT email us daily.  If you haven't received a reply by this time, odds are we didn't receive it.
