 ====== Rules on Reviewing ======
-First off, you should know I only have a limited amount of time, so I can't review a hundred novels at once. Sorry, but that's basic physics for you. If I agree to review your novel, you may have to wait a while for me to get around to it, and then I'll need time to read it.

If I agree to review your novel, you may have to wait a while for me to get around to it, and then I'll need time to read it. I only review hard copies.
 **//Please note that I have a preference for __science fiction__. If I get multiple requests and only one of them is science fiction, guess which one I'll choose.//**
 ===== Rules =====
   - If it's traditionally published, I'll probably buy it //(if I'm not broke at the time - feel free to offer a free copy anyway ;-))//
-  - If it is self-published, or through a publisher that uses print-on-demand, you'll have to send it to me. Sorry, but I'm reluctant to risk my money on something that doesn't look like it's gone through the filters of an agent, publisher and editor.

   - If it is self-published, make sure the grammar is up to publishing standard, it is spell-checked and you're not making lots of common noob errors
   - I rarely review collections or anthologies
