INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW PROGRAM -
The goal of this program is to provide a free objective review of Independently published
books profiled on NothingBinding.com.
The integrity of this book review process is critical to the success of the program. NothingBinding.com
will do everything possible to maintain an honest and objective book review process. Authors submit their titles for review
and NothingBinding.com makes no guarantee as to the results of that review.
The book reviews posted on NothingBinding.com are the opinions of each individual book
reviewer and their opinion only. The review does not represent the opinions of NothingBinding.com who operates as the facilitator
of the review process. NothingBinding.com does not influence book reviewers nor make guarantees of any kind to authors.
Authors—
Must have a complete profile on NothingBinding.com to participate in the program, including
personal photo—book description—bio—inspiration—book cover—book excerpt—audio or video
preferred but not required.
Must make contact information available to NothingBinding.com: including name, mailing
address, email address, and phone. This personal information is for review purposes only and will never be shared with book
reviewers or third parties and will always remain strictly confidential.
Must be willing to promptly ship their title to a book reviewer once selected and agree
to absorb the cost of their book and the postage regardless of where the book reviewer may be located. This includes shipping
to reviewers living outside the United States and for authors living overseas to book reviewers living inside the United States. Priority or overnight shipping is
not required, media mail or first class is acceptable.
Must indicate their interest in having their book reviewed by completely filling out a
questionnaire, provided by NothingBinding.com. Questionnaire will include: (a) genre, (b) year of first publication, (c) professional
editor (yes or no), (d) name of editor, (e) name of publisher, (f) name of cover designer, and (g) brief synopsis (100 words
or less). This questionnaire will be in addition to the profile on NothingBinding.com.
Have the right to refuse publication of any review and the combined score for their book
as evaluated by each Independent book reviewer before being placed on NothingBinding.com.
May limit the number of reviews and stop participating in the book review program at any
time.
Independent Book Reviewers—not required to be authors.
Chosen by NothingBinding.com, at the discretion of NothingBinding.com.
Each book reviewer would search the site for books they are interested in reviewing and
forward their request to NothingBinding.com via email a list of 3 books written by 3 separate authors. Titles available for
review will be identified by NothingBinding.com. The selection of three books eliminates the possibility that book reviewers
are selecting titles for the purpose of writing positive reviews.
NothingBinding.com would then make the book selection for the reviewer then contact the
author for shipment of the selected book to reviewer.
Book Reviewer could remain anonymous (if preferred) and would not under any circumstances
agree to receive money or any form of compensation from any author for any reason. The book is made free to them in lieu of
more direct compensation.
Once the book arrives, the book reviewer must notify NothingBinding.com via email and
submit within 30 days via email, a written review, evaluation and combined score.
Book reviewers are required to read each selected book in its entirety, and will not receive
another book until their written review, evaluation and combined score has been submitted to NothingBinding.com. within 30
days of receiving any selected title.
Book reviewers can review only one title at a time and must be fair, objective, honest,
and as professional as possible.
NothingBinding.com reserves the right to discontinue a relationship with any book reviewer
at any time for any reason.
This is a non-compensated book review process, reviewers are to remain totally objective
and agree not to review titles written by friends, family, or where the reviewer is familiar with the author such as an acquaintance,
fellow member of a writers group or colleague. Integrity of the program is critical to success.
