About

Reviews:

I am currently (June 2023 onward) accepting children's picture books for review. I only post reviews of books that I rate at least 4 on a 5 point scale.

Submissions: Any format is fine, except Amazon/Kindle exclusives, just because the volume from those can be overwhelming. Bulk submissions to a lot of reviewers usually get caught in my spam filter.

Reviews will also be placed on LibraryThing and GoodReads. Authors are free to use the reviews elsewhere, as long as they include a link back to the review on StoryBookCat.

Someone has been selling my email address for submissions. I did not sign up for that. If you know who it is, please let me know so I can request to be removed.

Contact me:

Lee Austin at Reviewer(at)StorybookCat.com

I'm also on Mastodon, Twitter, and Pintrest

I can be hired for editing, proofreading, beta-reading, etc.
