IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As a self-employed, disabled person, my business is Essence Enterprises with all my other services under that as subsidiaries.  So, if you receive an invoice, make a payment or make a donation, through PayPal it will say Essence Enterprises. I also accept CashApp, Zelle, and Venmo. DONATIONS CAN BE MADE HERE

  

DO NOT SEND ANY DONATIONS OR PURCHASE ANY AUTHOR PROMOTION, INCLUDING VIDEO REVIEWS, UNTIL YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY REQUESTED A REVIEW, AND THE REQUEST WAS APPROVED.


A review request is "Officially Approved" once Amy's Bookshelf Reviews received the digital file of the book. 


When providing any information, check for typos and spelling errors before sending. 


Book Lengths: Amy's Bookshelf Reviews reads and reviews short stories and novellas (word count does not matter). Amy's Bookshelf Reviews reads children's picture books and Graphic Novels. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews reads and review novels, nonfiction books, Epic Novels, educational textbooks, and basically, as long as the book is one of the accepted genres, any size, any word count. Heck, if you want a review on a flash fiction story for your website, Amy's Bookshelf Reviews will do that, too. 


"No Fly Zone"

The "NO FLY ZONE" of Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. If anyone misrepresents themselves or lie about anything (I'm not talking about errors or mistakes), that person's name will be banned. I also do not accept requests from unscrupulous authors, author representatives, or publishers. I get a lot of information and have a lot of contacts, so if there are unscrupulous persons out there, I usually find out about them, or have experience with them. 


NOTICE: Changes to Amy's Bookshelf Reviews (Updated April 2025)


First time requests from an author, will only be accepted if the author has a referral code from a publisher,  a publicist or another author. Also, if there is no referral code, the author must have their representative request a review on their behalf. 


AMY'S LIBRARY UPDATE: CYCLICAL MOTION:  When more than one author has a title on the bookshelf, once the first title is reviewed, the other titles get moved to the bottom of the bookshelf, and work their way back up.  (Author's titles are always grouped together, even if they make separate requests).
