Contact the Geeks
These guidelines apply to both Bookgeeks and Bookbitz.
Interested in sending us a book (or anything else)? If you are, here’s what you should know:
1. Bookgeeks is a blog written by a number of regular contributors, with the primary purpose of reviewing books that fit with our tastes and preferences
2. Consequently we will review things that we like the sound of. We will not guarantee to write about anything that we are sent, nor can we give any guarantees about the timeliness of reviews. As a general rule we will write about something only if we like it.
3. The best way to contact us is via the contact form on this page. We will always endeavour to to respond to your messages; however if you do not hear from one of us within about a week, you may assume the answer to your query is “thanks, but no thanks.”
4. A note for authors: if you would like us to review your book, do an interview with you, etc., please ask your publicist to contact us using this form. We are currently not in a position to accept submissions directly from authors.
4. Please do NOT add us to any e-mail or distribution lists without asking us first.
5. For an indication of the types of books likely to get our attention, we recommend you peruse the reviews posted on the site, or look at the contributor profiles on the website.
6. We like books, but we’re not interested in reading electronic versions of publications. We spend enough time staring at computer screens as it is. No e-books or PDFs, thanks!
7. The views and opinions expressed in posts on the site are solely the opinions of their respective authors.
