**While I am no longer reviewing self-published novels here at my blog, I will gladly host 'sp' authors on spotlights.
Spotlights
I love authors but I cant review everyones request and Im currently being very picky on review books. Most of the titles I have to turn down are ones outside of my interested genre's and self-published authors. So with that in mind I created a new feature called the Saturday Spotlight. This event runs every Saturday and its main focus is to introduce readers to self-published and Indie authors. Its open to all authors, from the well known to the debut author, we love them all. Being on the feature includes an author bio, a guest post or interview and a giveaway to the readers.
Update May 2011- Due to the spotlights success and the amount of authors wanting to be featured, the spotlight authors participating in a giveaway for readers will be first in line. A giveaway generates reviews for your book as well as spreads the word about the post. Of course giveaways are always optional but are helpful. Guests posts on the spotlight are always open topics to the authors choosing. I only ask that authors refrain from graphic language, sexual content and above said rules regarding blog.

Review Time Frame
As of 2011 my review slots are very limited. Due to personal choices and maintaining a life outside of books I can’t guarantee a specific date for your review nor will I promise a review even if Ive accepted the book. ARC’s will take top priority along with tour books, so please expect a waiting period of 2-6 months.
Review Content/Layout
My reviews include a cover of the novel, publishing info and a Goodreads or publisher synopsis, if I write the synopsis it will be stated.
I cannot guarantee a 5-star rating for a free copy of a book. My reviews are based on the content of the book and my thoughts on them. Here at my blog you get honesty and no sugar coating, that includes faith based novels as well. Please remember this is a hobby and I dont get paid to do this. I write critical reviews here along with positive ones and what you will receive at Tinasbookreviews are subjective reviews.
ARC’s and donated copies will always be credited to the sender due to FTC regulations.
I also include a rating content paragraph at the end of each book I review, including a parental warning for language and sexual content on YA novels.
