review policy

hello authors!

REVIEW, BLOG TOUR AND INTERVIEW REQUESTS ARE NOW OPEN.

if you would like me to read and review your work or promote your book, please take some time to read my review policy and follow all the rules and procedures stated below.

I LOVE TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT DIVERSE BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

PREFERRED GENRES AND INTENDED AUDIENCE

marshmallow pudding is primarily a young adult book blog, but from time to time, i review middle grade and adult books too. this blog is intended for people of all ages, including children and younger teenagers. therefore, it is of upmost importance that the content i create and the books i review are safe and age-appropriate.

preferred genres:
contemporary
historical fiction
fantasy
magical realism

genres i do not accept:
non-fiction
erotica
religion


BOOK FORMATS

if you are from europe or the usa, mailing your book to me may be costly and non-environmentally friendly, as i am based in hong kong. for this reason, i am currently only accepting ebooks in pdf, epub or mobi (kindle) format or netgalley/ edelweiss book widgets, unless you are based in asia.

  • name and whether it is part of a series (if it is, please provide the name of the series and information about the other books in the series. please send me the other books in the series as well.)
