Review and Collaboration Policy

-
Updated as of October 2021:

Brand Collaborations:

If you have a bookish brand, I would love to work with you to promote your product! I absolutely love book boxes, book clubs, stationary, enamel pins, and I know my readers will love them too. Send a pitch and let me know about your brand to readingwritingandme@gmail.com where we can work out the details. I can't wait to hear from you! 

Review Pitches:

I am no longer able to reply to every review request I receive because the volume is too high. I'm sorry! I do read every request I get, but if you don't hear back within 2 weeks, please consider it a pass. Because of the limited time I have to read these days, I prioritize books from major publishing houses that will be most accessible to my readers, but if you have a YA or adult age category book in contemporary fiction, nonfiction, or romance, you can send a pitch to the blog's email readingwritingandme@gmail.com. For best results, please familiarize yourself with the blog to see if your project aligns with my taste!

Interview/Guest Post Requests:

I love highlighting authors and chatting with them! Whether you have a new book you're promoting or simply have a book on the shelves, feel free to reach out about doing a collaborative post on my blog. There are limited slots from these, so unfortunately, I won't be able to accept all requests, but I would love to hear from you. Just send in an email with a bit about yourself and your book as well as your article pitch if you'd like to be featured in a guest post.

Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi: YA Book Review

-

  Yolk  by Mary H.K. Choi Overview: Jayne is in fashion school in NYC. Well, she's enrolled. It's debatable how often she actually attends. June has a fancy job in finance, or that's what everyone thinks. But when June gets cancer, the estranged sisters are pulled together because June needs Jayne's identity to get treatment. By pretending to be her sister to get the life-saving procedure, June is forced to come clean and pull Jayne back into her orbit. Though their relationship stays rocky, they're suddenly glued together, forced to admit that their respective glamorous lives are actually filled with roaches and trauma and missteps. Overall: 5+++ This book made me happy cry (that's never happened while reading) and sad cry. Characters: 5 The book is told from Jayne's perspective in an extremely close first person. This book has plot. Things happen in the way that life happens, but it's mostly just characters getting split open and probed for all their w

Halsey's I Would Leave Me If I Could Poetry Review

  I Would Leave Me If I Could  by Halsey  I've started this review a couple times and scrapped all of them. I've written hundreds of reviews before, and this is the first time I have absolutely no clue how to review a book. It's not just because it's poetry. And it's not because I don't have thoughts on every single poem. I've read the book twice and scrubbed a million notes around her words and highlighted every poem on my second read through. I have so many favorites, and my heart feels like it's going to burst after finishing each poem. Halsey exceeded every expectation I had set to the high bar of her music. I almost feel like this book is too good for my review to remotely do it justice, so I don't even know where to begin.  This book is extremely vulnerable. Halsey has never held back on telling the ugly truth in her lyrics, but the poetry takes it so much farther. She has space to tell the entire story, fewer constraints than what will fit in

Hunger by Roxane Gay: A Memoir Review

Hunger  by Roxane Gay Overall: 4  TWs: discussion of eating disorders, sexual assault When I was looking through my TBR trying to figure out what to read next, I discovered that Hunger  was available on audiobook from my library and immediately dove in without reading any kind of summary. It was a book I needed to read for a project, and all I really knew was that this book had been a big deal when it had first come out. I was re-reminded of it as Roxane Gay announced she was pulling her podcast from Spotify as not to share airspace with Joe Rogan. Over the years, I've seen Tweets or heard random podcast episodes with Gay, so I was curious to finally read her writing.  This book is quite heavy and does not hold back when it comes to a multitude of potentially harmful or triggering topics, so proceed with caution. Still, that's the only approach that would allow any substance in a book like this. Hunger is comprised of a multitude of short essays that follow a narrative arc gen
