Please don't forget to attach a copy of the book in either RTF, PDF or HTML. For traditionally published books, send the above details and the Reviews Editor will advise you where to send your book for review. Our rating system appears below.

Please note that SharpWriter.Com does not in any way influence the content of reviews. All reviews are 100% the property and the opinion of the reviewer. The reviewers are all independent volunteers who have no connection with SharpWriter.Com except that we publish their review. None of the reviews reflects the opinion of this website in any way. We do expect reviewers to be respectful of authors at all times. We expect reviewers to avoid amateurish behavior, such as personal attacks on authors. The reviewer should critique a work honestly, but fairly and with kindness for both the writer and the reader.

A word about ratings: in late 1999, we instituted a ratings system. We did so after careful research and reflection, realizing this would not suit all reviewers. If you do a review for us, we ask that you judge the work based on the rating system described on this page. Please note that the early reviews were written before this policy came into effect, and do not therefore have ratings included. We expect that, as of January 2000, all reviews must have a rating. These ratings in no way are determined or influenced by SharpWriter.Com, nor do they reflect the opinion of SharpWriter.Com.

Please note that older reviews do not have ratings. We can't backtrack, so they will remain that way. Also, we've had a problem with missing information. We ask the reviewers to PLEASE get the information that will enable the reader to purchase the book if the reader so desires.

If you are submitting an unedited Advance Review Copy (ARC), please let us know that so the reviewer does not penalize you by removing stars from the rating.
