Note – We are putting a hold on new requests.
Note – Because of the limited time we have to review, believe me, we would read everything if we could, another way to post is to consider writing a piece about a particular craft angle or a specific topic of expertise, such as “How I built a non-Western magic system” or “Dissecting Chapter 4: The anatomy of a fight scene.” We always highlight the author’s work and provide links to their books. We also post columns such as “The Book That Made Me” and ” (author’s name) must be stopped.” Or listicles such as “10 books that made an impact on 14-year-old me.” There are many angles to approach this, and we would love to work with you.
However, feel free to submit your novel and if there is interest, we will let you know. Thank you!

Guidelines:
We attempt to read everything we are sent, however with time constraints it can be difficult. If we cannot get to your review before it releases we will do our best to create a promo piece celebrating the new release. We will contact you if that is the case.
- We consider author interviews or guest posts. However, we prefer to feature authors we have read.
- We write honest reviews for all the books we have read. Our policy is that we may not like your book, and that is ok. We always call out positives and show how someone else will love it.
- We try to read all the books promptly, let me know if there is a specific date by which you want something reviewed, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
- We post our reviews on Goodreads, BWG, Bluesky, and Twitter.
- We do not currently post to Amazon, we can make accommodations.
- We read a variety of genres. Specifically graphic novels, science fiction and fantasy (both YA and Adult), horror, and bizarro.
- We prefer hard copies of books, especially graphic novels due to how they read. But that depends on the reader. But, we happily accept e-books in pdf and .mobi format.
- If you need our information for sending us hard copies, We are happy to provide it. Just email beforewegoblog@gmail.com.
- We read the gamut across the blog, however reviewers have certain sub-genres they love to read. Adding in comps in the email will greatly help us focus on who is the best reader for you.
Content Notes:
- We call out specific moments in books that might be a little tougher for some members of the reading public to handle. This is usually in the more extreme cases.
Note
- We are currently not compensated for our reviews or our time.
