Book Reviews: Need a book review? Can't get a book review? Been trying for ages? Have a book ready for review? May be we can help! If you have a book ready for reviewing then just maybe we can help. And the good news is, you receive not just the one review, but three! That's right the same review will be posted up in three different places. Your book, once reviewed, will be put up: On Amazon.co.uk On the Writing Pad Website Book Review Page On the Ezine Articles site under their book review section Ezine Articles is one of the oldest biggest and best article exchanges where articles are picked up and reproduced around the world, sometimes hundreds of times, thus giving your title precious publicity around the globe. The review will remain on the Writing Pad website for a minimum period of one year. It will remain on the Ezine Articles site indefinitely. We have no control how long the review will remain on the Amazon.co.uk site. We cannot accept pornographic, over-violent, politically extreme, racist, illegal, or any other books deemed to be offensive. Please do not send such titles. Please note this carefully: Books submitted for review must be completed and published, or about to be published works. We do not accept proofs, drafts or galleys. The book MUST BE clean and unmarked throughout. They MUST NOT be marked "For Review Purposes Only" or "Not for Resale" or bear any other similar markings. Books that have been defaced in any way WILL NOT be reviewed. Here are some  more Q & A you might find helpful. Q: What if my book is not listed on Amazon? A: If your book is not already listed on Amazon, we will write page for it, and add it to Amazon's listings at no extra charge. This is one of the reasons why we need a clean and pristine copy, because we will scan a cover picture and upload it to the Amazon site. Q: Does my book need an ISBN? A: Though it will help to sell your book in the future, it does not have to have an ISBN for us to review. We WILL review non ISBN books.     Q: Do you review books from overseas? A: Yes we do. Q: Do you review books in other languages? A: No. All books must be written in English. Q: Do you accept emailed copies of books or e-books themselves? A: No. We only review printed books and only from the printed copy. Q: Can I reproduce the reviews? A: Yes of course. Please credit the review to theWritingpad.co.uk Book Reviews. Q: Why do you charge to review a book? A: It takes a long time to read a book and write and post the reviews. We do make a small charge to cover some of the costs involved. If the book took a week to read and process, you can work out the tiny benefit per hour for yourself. It is a very reasonable cost. Q: Will my book be returned after reviewing? A: No. Books are never returned. It will remain the property of the reviewer for them to dispose of as they wish. Q: So what happens to them? A: Some reviewers keep them for their own collection. Some pass them on to friends. Some give them to charity shops. Some may even sell them to help pay for their time. The reviewer is free to do whatever they wish with the book once the review has been written and posted. Q: Do you guarantee a good review? A: Certainly not. We try and be constructive at all times. If the review is an especially bad one, we will email it to you before posting and ask if you wish us to proceed with the postings. The best way to get a good review, is to write a good book. Pay attention to detail. Don't rush into print. Double check spelling and grammar, spend some time and money on the cover. The time will always be well spent. As we said, we do try hard to be constructive. If you have written a decent book, there is nothing to worry about. The biggest mistake some writers make is to rush it out. Take your time, and do it well. The book will benefit, and so will you. Q: So come on then, how much is the cost? A: We charge 25 pounds sterling to review your book and post the reviews. For overseas readers the charge is $50 pre-paid by Paypal. Q: If I don't like the review or disagree with it, can I have my money back? A: No of course not. Once the work has been done we never refund fees. Q: How long does it take to complete the review? A: Not an easy question to answer because it does depend on the length of your work, and how busy we are, but we do try hard to complete reviews within one calendar month of receipt. Q: Do you review Poetry and or Technical books? A: Yes to poetry. If the Technical books are extremely detailed and specialist we can review the book from the point of view of production and appearance and the general writing and layout. Obviously we could not comment on subjects about which our reviewers might know little or nothing. If in doubt perhaps an email enquiry beforehand might be advisable. Q: So what do I do now? A: Follow the brief instructions below, and thank you for reading this far.   Books Ready For Review: Once your book is ready for review, slip it into a jiffy bag type envelope and post together with your remittance of 25 pounds to TrackerDog Media, 118 Ringwood Road, Walkford, Dorset BH23 5RF. (Overseas reviews cost $50 and must be pre-paid by Paypal.
