If you’re burning inside with a question, comment, or dirty picture to send to the Insatiable Booksluts (note: please do not actually send dirty pictures, even if you’re cute), we can be contacted in a variety of ways.
We have a Facebook page and Twitter if you just want to say “hey!” (You can also leave a comment on the blog!)
For private or professional inquiries, we can be contacted at insatiablebooksluts@gmail.com. Note: We do not consider any correspondence to that e-mail address inherently private. We may publicly post e-mail we receive there, and if you choose to contact us via e-mail–especially if sending us hate mail–know that your letter could be reproduced in full on our website. Don’t like it? Don’t e-mail us.
Sending books to us for review:
Yes, we now accept books to review. Please contact us at insatiablebooksluts@gmail.com if you are interested in sending us a book to review; we would appreciate receiving a summary of the work, and if you have them, a sample chapter or two. Someone from IB will look over your pitch and let you know if we will accept your book as soon as we can. Amy and Rob are only set up to receive print copies of books at this time; Susie can accept ebooks or print copies.
We mostly enjoy reading literary fiction. This is not to say that we don’t dip into genre fiction, especially genre fiction that is exploring new boundaries and creating new genres in its wake; however, if you write books that are firmly ensconced within an established genre, please don’t be upset if we do not accept your work at this time. We are working to narrow our focus to indie-published literary fiction, so believe me when I say that it is not a judgment on your style or your work. We do still love to read works that push genre boundaries, though (like Perdido Street Station, Geek Love, Night Circus, etc), so don’t be afraid to send your pitch if you have something really special!
Please also keep in mind that if you have a short deadline, such as a book publication date, we can’t guarantee we’ll meet the deadline without a decent margin–two to four weeks of having the book in-hand, possibly more, depending on the book itself and other deadlines we have to meet ahead of yours. Please try to contact us as early as possible when deadlines are involved.
Finally, we may choose not to review a book if we truly did not like it. We may also choose to write a somewhat scathing review of a book that we really did not like. Please know that if you send us a work for review, we are not bound to write a favorable review, nor are we guaranteeing that we will not review it if we don’t like it. Our main concern is giving our readers genuine content. Book swag must take a backseat–after all, they still have more free books at the library than you can shake a stick at.
