Review Policy:

Want us to review a book? Go to the About The Inkies page for a way to reach us.


Our reviews: Reviews on The Splatter of Ink contain *drum roll, please*

  • cover art
  • publishing information (such as the release date, publisher, genre, age group, etc.), 
  • and a review. 

We rate books out of five stars
  • one being: we hated it. 
  • and five being: OH MY GOODNESS WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE *SOBS* (or, in other words, A Really Good Book.) 
Reviews might also contain promotional materials, such as book trailers, websites, contests, and widgets. Our reviews are guaranteed 110% honest.  Specifics of the review can be discussed individually.

What we review: If it's a book, we'll consider reviewing it. However, only books that can be labeled as young adult readers (12-18) will be accepted, as well as middle grade (12-14). 


Book Review Details: 

We are happy to know and talk to the authors that we have reviewed, so if you want to make a guest post or have an author interview, please CONTACT US!!!

When we have received a book for review, we will often be able to finish it in the maximum of two weeks. However, if you would like a review before that time, please let us know. 

THIS IS OUR TBR PILE AT THE MOMENT (IN CHRONOLOGICAL READING ORDER): 

  • Books we have requested for review
  • Books sent to us for review
  • Books we have to read for English class about that old guy in tights. Who is that again? Shakes-something-or-other? Yeah. 
We don't like to read books out of order, so if you are sending us a sequel to a previous novel you wrote, we'd like it if you sent prequels as well.

Format: The most frequent (and preferred) type of format we will accept would be bound books, such as galleys, ARC's, and an already published novel. However, some of us do have e-readers that can be used upon request. All other formats (such as PDF files, etc.,) will be decided on a case-by-case basis. 


Self-Published Books: We currently accept self-published novel review requests.
