Review Policy for Inked Yarn Media

In order to maintain transparency and provide my readers with reliable and unbiased reviews, I have established the following review policy:

Firstly, thank you for your interest in Inked Yarn Media. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm for Inked Yarn Media’s usual genres of romance, mystery, fantasy, and historical fiction.

Selection Process

  • Books: I accept review copies of both physical books and e-books (Kindle, PDF, ePub). Publishers, authors, and publicists are welcome to contact me with their book recommendations.
  • Films: I primarily focus on reviewing films based on the genres of romance, mystery, fantasy, and historical fiction. I may occasionally review films from other genres if they align with my, or my readers’, interests. I choose films based on personal interest, relevance, and availability. I have access to all streaming platforms.

Review Timeline

  • Books: I strive to review books promptly, but due to my commitment to providing thoughtful reviews (and my full-time job, family, and other side hustles), I cannot guarantee immediate publication. I aim to review each book within 2 – 4 weeks of receipt, but this may vary.
  • 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.
  • Analysis: My reviews aim to provide readers with an overall impression of the book and the things I both liked and disliked.
  • Spoiler-Free: I strive to write spoiler-free reviews, ensuring that readers can enjoy the book or film without having major plot points revealed.

Rating System

My rating scale ranges from 1 to 5 stars, with 1 star indicating poor quality and 5 stars representing exceptional quality. These ratings stem from my personal feelings about the book, so feel free to ignore them or tell me how you feel in the comments!

  • ⭐ – Avoid. I wouldn’t recommend this book.
  • ⭐⭐ – Uphill battle. I struggled to finish this book.
  • ⭐⭐⭐ – Okay. This book wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great either.
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Worth reading. I enjoyed this book despite a few hiccups.
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Exceptional! I will recommend this book to everyone I know.

Affiliates/Sponsorships

  • I may include affiliate links to bookstores or platforms like Amazon, which may earn Inked Yarn Media a small commission if readers make a 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 timeline for publication.

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 contribute to the promotion of the genres I love.
