Book Review Guidelines

counter

AUTHOR'S CHOICE REVIEWS seeks to give options that entertain, encourage, inform and stretch. Books chosen for review either reflect conservative politics and an evangelical faith or are generally inspirational without offending those who hold this viewpoint.

Attention authors/publishers: reviews are the property of ACR. Instead of reprinting a full review, consider using the nugget that best promotes your book. When you use a review or part thereof, please tag it with AUTHOR'S CHOICE REVIEWS.
Thank you.

 

Each month books are selected for review. Not all books will make it each month onto this site. But, each book reviewed will be read and evaluated carefully. (We do not do reviews on partial manuscripts.)

 

This is not the site to find either long flowery reviews or reviews that tear apart not only a book, but also the author.

 

These reviews will strive to be fair, mostly positive, and honest.

AUTHOR’S CHOICE BOOK REVIEW

WEB SITE GUIDELINES

 

Please browse through the reviews to get an idea of focus, slant and what types of books are reviewed.

 

This site seeks to give reading options that entertain, encourage, inform and stretch, while appealing to a Christian conservative audience.

 

I will accept email attachment to some degree, also printed Advance Review Copies--only after the author contacts me and I agree. I prefer the actual book that will be on shelves. (Review books will not be returned whether or not a book is reviewed.)

 
Format: Galleys ok as long as they are bound. Some E-books. Prefer print books.
 
Presentation IS important. If you are not sending the final work, but a galley let us know. Reviews are based on what we’re given.


Guidelines: Audience--Christian conservative--politically as well as spiritually.
Fiction or non-fiction, any age group
Clean books that you would give to your mother, pastor/priest, daughter, son and have a take away value: message, entertainment, etc.
Prefer a Christian world view, but not preachy, though sweet, secular books fine.
No profanity or obscenity, not using any form of God's name as an expletive
No new age or the condoning of occult practices (even in fun) or equating other religions with Christianity
NO premarital sex scenes.

NO  graphic sex/intimacy scenes
NO erotica or porn
