Hello and welcome to my blog!
I am glad to see your interest in sending me a book for review. But before you do that -- I would really appreciate it if you would first read my review policy to know what you can expect from me and what you cannot.

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
