Review Request Guidelines UPDATED

We are now open for reviews for 2012.


If you are interested in having The One Hundred Romances Project read and provide an honest review of your work, please read and follow these guidelines:

  1. Make sure you go to Manic Readers and submit your book for review.  It is free to do so and easy to use.  Just add One Hundred Romances to your approved reviewers.
  2. Our focus is small-press and self-published eRomances released no earlier than January 1, 2012. We are happy to accept review requests from publishers as well as authors.
  3. Your story should be a romance! Any pairing(m/f, m/m, f/f,etc.), or any sub-genre(erotica, historical, contemporary, etc.), but the core of the story must be a romance with a happily ever after of some variety.
  4. No rape-for-titillation. No depraved acts. No bestiality, incest, or ANYTHING illegal or flat-out gross.
  5. Please ensure your work is highly edited and suits the theme of The One Hundred Romances Project.
  6. We accept reviews throughout Manic Readers only.  
  7. We reserve the right to refuse to continue to read/review a story, at any time, if we feel it does not fit our guidelines.
