Book Review Services Now Available

After much contemplation, years actually, I'm offering review services to writers and publishers.

I'm hoping the cost of these services will be economical for everyone. To read a 350-page book, it takes no less than ten hours. To write a review, it takes another three to five hours. This equates to approximately two days out of my work week.

Therefore, I will only be accepting one book review a week.

My rates are as follows (in US dollars):
  • $99.00 - - - a two- to five-line comment about a book,
  • $199.00 - - - a one-page book review,
  • $399.00 - - - a critique, up to eight pages discussing the author's use of: characterization, setting, point of view, voice, plot development, pacing, conflict, theme and overall story arc.
If you would like to submit your book for consideration, please query me at: susanwingate@centurytel.net. Please put "Book Review Services Query" in the subject line.

I only give reviews for the following:
  • Memoir
  • Mainstream
  • Literary Fiction
  • Women's Fiction

I do not review the following:

  • Nonfiction
  • Children's Stories
  • Poetry
  • Mystery
  • Science Fiction
  • Horror
  • Erotica

Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Susan.
