Review Policy
WinterHaven Books currently has four active bloggers that are all voracious readers. However, as much as we would love to dedicate every waking hour turning the pages, that’s simply not possible. We do spend a majority of our efforts enjoying Young Adult literature in the following genres:- Contemporary
- Dystopia
- Fantasy
- Paranormal
- Romance
- SciFi
- Urban Fantasy
We accept ARCs in the following formats: paperbacks, hardbacks, eBooks, egalleys, and occasionally audios. If you provide a paperback or hardback, it will be shared among the WinterHaven team and possibly offered as a give-away incentive upon completion. In addition, we love to share our reviews and reactions with our blogging community immediately upon completing the book. We will post our reviews on the WinterHaven Blog as well as GoodReads, and occasionally TheLibraryThing upon request. We will also send a notification of the review or give-away through Twitter and Facebook. If the give-away or immediate public review is not recommended, please notify us upon distribution of your ARC, and we will comply with your request.
Several WinterHaven bloggers have a deep passion for Australian Young Adult literature. Therefore, if you are looking to gain some press for your book in the States, your chances are pretty good that we will comply with a review request, so be sure to contact us for consideration.
Unsolicited ARCs, Self Published and Adult Literature: If you would like WinterHaven Books to review your novel, please provide a few sample chapters or the complete eBook along with a synopsis of the story. We will discuss the review opportunity among the team to see if one of us is available for review. However at this time we cannot guarantee a review or response for any unsolicited material.
We do NOT accept review requests for the following: non-fiction, religious themes, self-help, brutally disturbing, graphically violent or political works.
We are an active participant in Blog Tours and frequently accept Author Interview requests, so if you would like one of us to join a tour or conduct an interview, please don’t hesitate to contact us for consideration.
In accordance with FTC Guidelines, WinterHaven Book Blog is in no way compensated for any reviews or promotional posts you see on our blog. On occasion we receive books from NetGalley, authors or publishers in exchange for a review. These are our honest opinion of the book, and we are in no way compensated for our reviews.

- Entries will be reviewed for accuracy. The number of eligible entries received determines the odds of winning.

Please allow authors and publishers a little extra time in sending your prize.
