Thank you for your interest in Inked Yarn Media.
To maintain transparency and provide my readers with reliable and unbiased reviews, I have established the following review policy:
Selection Process
- Books: I accept review copies of both physical books and e-books (Kindle app or PDF). Publishers, authors, and publicists are welcome to contact me with their book recommendations. However, please note that submission does not guarantee a review.
- Films: I choose movies based on personal interest and relevance.
Review Timeline
- Books: I strive to review books in a timely manner, but due to my commitment to providing thoughtful reviews (and my full-time job, family, and other side hustles), I cannot guarantee immediate publication but you will be notified of when the review will be published.
- Film/TV Shows: Film reviews will be posted as soon as possible after watching the film or TV episode/season.
Review Content
- Honest and Impartial: My reviews are based on my honest opinions and reflections. I try my best to maintain impartiality and avoid any biases.
- Detailed Analysis: My reviews aim to provide readers with a comprehensive analysis of the book or film, covering elements such as plot, characters, writing style, world-building, and overall enjoyment.
- Spoiler-Free: I strive to write spoiler-free reviews, so readers can enjoy the book or film without having major plot points revealed.
Rating System
- I use a rating system to summarise my overall assessment of a book or film. My rating scale ranges from 1 to 5 stars, with 1 star indicating poor quality and 5 stars indicating exceptional quality.
| Rating | Title | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ⭐ 1 Star | Poor | Unfortunately, this one may not be worth your time. |
| ⭐⭐ 2 Stars | Needs Improvement | Has potential, but the story or execution falls short. |
| ⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars | Average | Enjoyable but it doesn’t quite stand out. |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Stars | Very Good | Well put-together and engaging, but it could use a bit of polish. Highly recommend. |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars | Excellent | Leaves a strong impact that resonates long after it’s finished. It’s a must-read! |
- In addition to the rating, I will highlight both positive aspects and any areas for improvement.
Affiliates/Sponsorships
- I may include affiliate links to bookstores or platforms like Amazon, which may earn Inked Yarn Media a small commission if readers purchase through those links. This helps to support the blog and maintain its operation.
- Sponsored reviews or posts will always be clearly disclosed to my readers.
Response to Inquiries
- I may not be able to respond to every submission or request. However, if I decide to review your book or film, I will notify you of my intentions and provide an estimated publication date.
Please note that this review policy is subject to change, and I reserve the right to modify it at any time. By submitting your book or film for review, you acknowledge and accept this review policy.
Thank you for considering Inked Yarn Media for your book or film review.
I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts with my readers and promote the genres I love.
