Thank you for considering Storied Conversation! I’m always excited to discover new books and connect readers with stories they’ll love. Whether you’re an indie author, traditionally published author, publisher, or publicist, I appreciate your interest in having your book featured.
Every review request is personally considered based on my reading schedule and whether the book is a good fit for my audience. While I would love to accept every request, I receive more submissions than I can reasonably accommodate, so I carefully select the books I review each month.
Please take a moment to review my current availability and guidelines before submitting your request.
