1. READY! CHECK THESE GUIDELINES
BlueInk considers for review any book that has been published at least in part through the efforts and payments of its author (commonly called a “self-published” or “independently published” book). Even if your publisher pays you royalties, if you financed the publication in some way, including, for example, by committing to purchase a quantity of books, your book would qualify for a review.
We review e-books, on-demand books, printed books in any format, English translations and English-language submissions from outside the United States, as well as galleys. We do not review manuscripts pre-publication.
2. SET! MAKE YOUR INITIAL CHOICES
Choose below whether you would like a Standard Review ($395 for the review to be completed in 7-9 weeks) or Fast Track Review ($495 for the review to be completed in 4-5 weeks). Then make sure to read through our policies, decide whether you’ll be mailing your book or uploading it as a PDF* (there is a $19.95 handling charge for this service), and submit your order
3. GO! TELL US ABOUT YOUR BOOK AND SEND IT TO US FOR REVIEW
After you push the “order” button, you’ll be sent to a page asking you to fill in more details about yourself and your book--this information is used to help your book Get Found by readers through our site search engines. You'll then be guided through the process of uploading your PDF* or sending your book (2 copies) to the BlueInk offices.
That’s it! Once your review is finished, we’ll send it to you along with the means to activate and/or purchase some really nifty services. You’ll also be able at that time, or any time later, to opt out of running your review on our site.
Authors who have published e-books are welcome at BlueInk, and may obtain reviews through converting their ebooks to PDF files, and uploading their books directly and securely. The PDF upload service costs money because we print out the book for our reviewers. If you do have a print edition of your book, we encourage you to send it to us by whatever real-life mail carrier you wish, because it’s nice to see a book within its cover (even though we don’t judge it by that).
