If you are a new publisher, please feel free to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/?page_id=17\">contact<\/a> us to inquire about having your books read and reviewed. Please note, due to a large number of requests, we may decline to review your book. Reviews are written by Pilar Arsenec (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/?page_id=2\">About<\/a>) unless otherwise noted and written by approved <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/?page_id=315\">guest writers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Genres Regularly Reviewed<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fiction<\/li>\n<li>Nonfiction<\/li>\n<li>Memoirs and Autobiographies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Timing<\/h3>\n<p>If you would like us to participate in a book blog tour or hit a particular post date, we will work to meet that deadline. If we receive an early release of a book, we will work to post the review within a month of the release date. If we receive an already published book, we will do our best to review it in a timely manner. Because of the large number of review requests, it may take several months to review your book.<\/p>\n<p>Please note, we are not bound or obligated and reserve the right not to review any book received.<\/p>\n<h3>Structure<\/h3>\n<p>Basic information such as length, publisher and ISBN number are presented, followed by a brief objective description, our own review and ending with an author summary. An image of the book cover is shown. The overall book&#8217;s impact and message will be discussed. For audiobooks, the narrator and production are reviewed. For graphic novels, the artwork is reviewed. Links are provided\u00a0 for buying the book. A link is often included to the author&#8217;s site.<\/p>\n<h3>Exposure<\/h3>\n<p>Each book reviewed may receive several points of exposure on this blog and elsewhere. The book may be the focus of a spotlight and\/or must-read list, including links to outside lists as well as the subject of a full review. Links to\u00a0 reviews are regularly tweeted on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PilarArsenec\">Twitter<\/a> and often posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/parsenec\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/1212827-pilar\" target=\"_blank\">Goodreads<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.librarything.com\/profile\/pilararsenec\" target=\"_blank\">LibraryThing<\/a>. Reviews and posts are also featured throughout the Internet. When a review of a book is posted on Ordinary Servant, we appreciate that the author, publicist and\/or publisher post a link to us on Twitter and\/or on their own site.<\/p>\n<h3>Extras<\/h3>\n<p>We may be contacted to participate in blog tours, hosting giveaways and to host guest posts from pre-approved authors.<\/p>\n<h3>Credit<\/h3>\n<p>If you would like to use any writing from this site in print or on another site, please contact us to obtain permission.
