Ever So Mela

Terms and Conditions

I. Introduction

        This contract is not only because of my experience, but of other bloggers that have been having a hard time as well. The agreement has been created so we have a complete understanding of what's going to happen when I review the book, and how you can help the process run smoothly.

II. This will be my review

          If I review your book, that means it will be in my own words. You will not tell me what to add or take out or saying that my view is wrong. If you put the book in my hands you are giving me full rights to say what I want about it. I also reserve the right to not finish the book if it is not of my liking,  however, I will refrain myself from rating it.

III. If the review is not flattering

         I've read books that are good, and some that aren't as good. Others horrible. If I give your book under three stars, I will contact you and let you know. I want you to succeed, but this  also reverts to rule one. I will not change my review because it's not flattering. Keep in mind that not everyone will love your book, even Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter -- which are loved by many people -- have gotten criticism. You're no different.

IV. Other social media sites

         I will post these reviews on my blog and Goodreads. If you have another place you want me to post or don't want Goodreads, please tell me.

VI. Act like an adult

         Yes, this has to be said. If you don't like something I've said in my review or don't like a certain aspect of how I post them, no name calling, swearing at me, or threats of any kind. I have seriously seen these, and I'm sick of it. You're a professional... don't think my review is going to damage your sales immensely.

VII. Conclusion

         I'm a really nice reviewer and am not out to get you. My goal is to help you succeed, and if you think you're a good fit contact me back with a big "Yes!" and I’ll get started right away. If you don't agree with any of these terms, I'm sorry to see you leave and I hope you'll think of me in the future. Again, this is typed out because of my past, not because I personally think you're out to get me. We both have a passion for books, and I'd love to review for you!

Thank you,

Melissa Baez
