These representatives will get a free interview on the podcast, and a paid ($25) Advertisement in Literate-Ly Magazine (for one year) and Bookly Litvertise Magazine (for 6 months), as well as a 10-second Ad placed in an upcoming podcast.

• All episodes of this podcast are prerecorded, and audio only.
• The default program is Google Meet. However,  I can use Zoom, or Microsoft Teams.  If you wish to have a number that you can call in, I can give you my Google Voice Number, and record from there. 
• Check your microphone on your computer to make sure it works.
• If using a cellphone, make sure you have plenty of charge on it.  
• Also, I set the meetings to my time zone, Eastern. So when we agree on a time, make sure I know if you are in a different time zone, and if you mean a time that is on your time zone, not mine.
• If you need to reschedule, please let me know. When the recording schedule has started, I wait for 15 minutes for the author, and if the author does not contact me to reschedule, I will  close the meeting, and mark it as a no-show. 
• If there is an error on scheduling, please let me know. I don't send follow up emails to remind persons about the recording session. 
• Authors are allow ONE no-show and allowed to reschedule it.  

• This is for guests of the show whose book has yet to be read and reviewed by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. 
• The book review will get posted after the prerecording, most probably before the show's actual airing, unless it is scheduled to coincide with a release date. 
• The podcast reviews get posted on Amazon, their publisher website (if listed), Amy's Bookshelf Reviews website, and shared on X.com and Facebook #ABSRpodcast
