Hello, Reviewers–Thank you for your time and service on behalf of women indie authors. And if there are books by women of color in the selection below, please give them extra attention. Story Circle is committed to recognizing and supporting the diverse world of women’s voices.
- Once you finish with a book, it’s yours to do with as you please—keep it, share it, donate it—and, yes, you can write in it to make notes if that’s your style.
- Please view more details at the “View” link, but do NOT order the book from Amazon. Use the form at the bottom of this page to order your free review copy.
- If you have published three reviews for us, you may choose two books at a time. If you’re new to our site, please choose just one.
- International reviewers: we want your reviews, too! However, the cost of mailing print books outside the US is prohibitive. Thus, international reviewers may request E-BOOKS only.
Please note that an *AOC after the description indicates an author of color. You may wish to give these primary consideration.
