Another Announcement Regarding Reviews

Another Announcement Regarding Reviews

I’ve been doing reviews of self-published and indie novels for quite a while now, but for the moment I think I’m going to go on indefinite hiatus as a reviewer.

This is mostly a “need to re-prioritize” situation. For several months now I’ve been under considerable pressure, between the need to get Architect of Worlds out the door, a big project that’s come up at the office, and the university courses I’m currently taking . . . not to mention my other creative projects. It’s getting to the point that being obligated to do reviews on a regular basis is cutting into both emotional resources and time that I need to be spending on other things.

My current plan is to finish my commitment to the Indie Ink Awards for this year, but I’m otherwise not going to be doing any more reviews for at least the next few months. I’ve also dropped a note to the Indie View website to have them remove me from their active-reviewers list for the time being. My Review Policy page will also be updated to indicate what’s going on. I’ll post here if and when I decide to start up the review queue again.

An Announcement Regarding Reviews

For the first few months of 2024, I’m going to be serving as a judge for the 2024 Indie Ink Awards. That means I’ll be reading and reviewing a bunch of books, but I won’t be publishing those reviews here until the 2024 awards are finished sometime in August.

If you still want your book to be considered for a review here (and on Amazon and Goodreads) under my usual procedures, feel free to drop me a line as you normally would. Just be aware that I’m a bit less likely to have time for additional reviews for at least the next couple of months.

Meanwhile, I may or may not continue to publish at least one review per month while the contest is under way. It all depends on my schedule for the contest and other work. Regular monthly reviews will resume once the judging period is over – I’ll make a post here when that happens.
