Most of the books which we receive are sent out to our reviewers so it really does help if you send us a press sheet along with the book. We don’t need anything fancy (and we don't need covering letters or want copies of other reviews) but you might be surprised at how often we’ve found ourselves lacking a clear statement of the title of the book, the correct name of the author and how many pages there are when we come to upload a review. Surfers are more likely to find reviews of your book if we have all the correct details – and please don’t forget the ISBN!
 
If the authors are available for [[:Category:Interviews|interview]] or to write a [[:Category:Comments|feature]], do please consider including this on the press sheet.
If you are self-publishing (this includes any situation where an author has made any contribution towards the costs of publication), we will cover your book with a full and honest review in the same way as any other book. However, we are a small outfit and we select books very carefully; reviewer time is precious and postage costs are high. For this reason, we make a small charge to cover time and costs when we take on a self-published book for review. We know that publishing a book is special and we'd like to help you to enjoy it as much as possible. You'll find all the details [[Promotion Packages for Self-Publishing Authors|here]].
 
If you’re happy to take your chances on the shelves please [mailto:sue@thebookbag.co.uk?Subject=Review%20Copies drop us a line] and tell us that you've read and understood the basis on which we accept books. We'll then give you details of how the book should be sent. Please don't send unsolicited digital copies.
