Reviewers – Non-Fiction

I’m starting to compile reviewers of different genres / formats and just have these few for non-fiction authors so far. NB. Some may well not take unsolicited enquiries so please check before you submit your book.

General Non-Fiction

• Biography Book Reviews has been receiving a lot of emails from interested authors. I think it is important to let everyone know that per our review policy, we only select books from BCRL — https://bookclubreading.com/submit-your-book/?ap_id=biography — and CeB — https://99cent-books.com/submit-your-book/?ap_id=biography This helps simplify our lives, otherwise, we’d be overrun with emails and books. We chose to go this route for a few reasons: 1) it helps us indirectly earn money for providing a valuable service;; 2) we only select the books that are of interest to us; and 3) we believe these sites are offering valuable services for authors, so we feel good supporting their mission. For more info, please visit: http://biography-book.com.
