Review Requests
Submit your book for review consideration by the CTR team
At Chicks That Read, we believe every story deserves to find its reader. Our review team carefully considers each submission, looking for narratives that spark emotion and connection. We are particularly drawn to contemporary romance, women's fiction, and heartwarming tales of friendship, family, and second chances. Whether your novel features a small-town love story, a holiday romance, or a journey of self-discovery, we welcome the opportunity to read your work. Our readers appreciate authentic characters, meaningful relationships, and plots that linger long after the final page. We approach each book with the same passion we hope you poured into writing it.
Before submitting, we encourage authors to familiarise themselves with our existing reviews and features. This helps ensure your book aligns with the tastes and expectations of our audience. We look for well-crafted prose, compelling character arcs, and stories that celebrate life’s beautiful messiness. While we adore a swoon-worthy hero and a satisfying happy ending, we also value depth, humour, and emotional honesty. Our community loves discovering new voices and hidden gems, so do not hesitate to share your work with us if it fits our general reading preferences.
Our review process is designed to be thoughtful and respectful of both authors and our readers. Once you submit your book, our team will evaluate it based on its suitability for our platform. We prioritise stories that resonate with our core themes of love, personal growth, and human connection. Please note that submission does not guarantee a review, as we receive far more requests than we can accommodate. However, every book is given genuine consideration. We aim to respond in a timely manner and appreciate your patience while we work through our reading queue.
We value the relationship between author and reviewer as a partnership built on mutual respect. Our goal is to share honest, constructive feedback that helps readers discover their next favourite book while supporting writers in their creative journey. We are especially fond of series, holiday-themed novels, and stories set in charming English villages or bustling London neighbourhoods. If your book features strong female friendships, romantic tension, or a touch of whimsy and warmth, it may be an excellent fit. We look forward to reading what you have crafted.
