"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).

EARLY REVIEW REQUESTS!
If an author wants to have a review for a release date, and ALSO wants an EARLY REVIEW, prior to it's release date in order to include (if the author wishes) the review on the book cover, back cover, inside the book's acknowledgement page, the author can request that. The request will need to include the deadline for the review, and it should be at least THREE month's prior to the release, sooner if possible. It's not part of a tier, but as a request for those who have an upcoming release.
YouTube video reviews are part of author promotions or the Premium Tiers.
