Here at Bookbag Towers we love to receive books from youand we'll make the ones we like the best available to our reviewers on our virtual shelves. We don't guarantee to review them but we do cover an excellent proportion of what we are sent. The trick is to send books that will appeal to at least one of our panel of fifty reviewers! Our reviewers are able to make their own choices from our "virtual shelves". We've found that better - and usually more positive - reviews are forthcoming this way. If nobody from our panel has asked to review your book after four weeks, we withdraw it from the shelves and it won't be covered. If we do cover your book please remember that if we don't like it, we'll say so.

Our reviewers choose their books via a link to the book on Amazon. Please make certain that there is an image of the book available along with a clear synopsis as we’ve we've found that this encourages our reviewers to request the books. Also – if the book doesn’t appeal to a reviewer who is being sent the book it’s it's probably going to be harder to persuade a reader to spend money on the title. Most of the money which keeps Bookbag running comes from the sale of books through Amazon, so it’s it's in your interest and ours that the books look as inviting as possible. If a book does not yet have a listing on Amazon please delay sending until the listing is live.

Please note that only in very unusual circumstances will we take a book published (or made available for sale) more than two months ago. We prefer to have books at the very least a month in advance of publication. Because of the number of books we receive we have to be selective about which books go on the shelves if they arrive after publication. We'd also appreciate if you could check with us if you're planing to send the manuscript on A4 paper. This is expensive to post to reviewers and difficult to handle. Also - we don't accept proofs after the date of publication.
