Welcome to I Speak Book Nerd! I’m always happy to hear from publishers, authors, and publicists whose books align with my reading interests.
What I Read
I primarily read fiction, though I occasionally pick up a nonfiction title that captures my interest. I’m drawn to books with memorable characters, immersive storytelling, and a distinctive voice.
My favorite genres include:
- Literary Fiction
- Historical Fiction
- Women’s Fiction
- Fantasy & Science Fiction
- Translated Fiction
- Mystery & Thriller
What I Don’t Read
To save you time, I do not accept poetry or children’s picture books. I generally accept self-published titles by request if they align with my reading interests. However, I cannot guarantee a specific timeline for coverage.
How I Review
My reviews are always honest, thoughtful, and respectful. They are spoiler-free and typically explore the book’s writing style, characters, pacing, themes, and overall reading experience. My goal is to help readers decide whether a book is right for them while providing meaningful feedback for authors and publishers.

Format & Timing
I prefer digital review copies (NetGalley, Edelweiss, or ePub), though I’m also happy to accept print ARCs.
Whenever possible, I schedule reviews close to a book’s publication date. If a review is published early, I update and republish it on release day to help give the book renewed visibility.
