The following genres will not be accepted.
  • Autobiographies/Biographies, 
  • Erotica

CHARGES

Although I read and review books out of love for reading, it does not imply that it is an easy job. Reviewing a book involves a lot of work and attention to minute details that can easily be overlooked while reading casually. It also involves hours of photography, the purchase and use of a number of props, and construction of an honest and unbiased review. I post my reviews on three to four platforms and include various thoughts and aspects of the book. 
So, if you are comfortable with paying me for the reviews I write, kindly go through the chart:
Below 100 pages: ₹70
Between 100 to 150 pages: ₹100
Between 150 to 200 pages: ₹130
Between 200 to 250 pages: ₹160
Between 250 to 300 pages: ₹190
Between 300 to 350 pages: ₹220
Between 350 to 400 pages: ₹250
Between 400 to 450 pages: ₹280
Between 450 to 500 pages: ₹310
And, so on!

ADDITIONAL

I am open to host author interviews, giveaways, book promotion, cover reveal, and book tours.

Regards,
That Ardent Reader
