REVIEW REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED
CLOSED UNTIL 2026
HUGE thank you to Jesus for blessing so many authors to reach out during this review season! If you’re new here, welcome! My review requests are currently closed until 2026, but please feel free to browse this page and get a feel for my guidelines ahead of time! I plan to open requests again early next year, so until then, Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Follow me on social media (@ValicityElaine) or use the form at the bottom of this page to subscribe to my newsletter and be the first to know when requests open again! Christ is King.
AUTHORS! PLEASE read this entire page. If your book does not meet my guidelines, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book! That just means it isn’t what I’m looking to feature on my channel.
What I’m looking for…
My channel is focused on finding unique Christian fiction. That means I want to read books I wouldn’t expect to see in our market! Give me your superhero thrillers, space operas, and anything with a dark theme. Since Fall and Winter are on the way, I am looking for cozy books, YA fiction, and Winter/Christmas-themed books to fit the seasons. Also, please don’t forget Hispanic Heritage Month or Native American History Month! I am eagerly looking for books that represent these wonderful cultures to celebrate their rich history!
On a personal note, I absolutely love Christian fantasy, Christian dystopian books, and dark Christian romance (closed/cracked door), but I will read whatever sounds interesting as long as it follows my guidelines.
5 Guidelines
Overtly/Expressly Christian: Christianity is clearly expressed in the story and is an active, integral part of the plot. I’m looking for books that directly mention the Name of Jesus or a Biblical Name of God (Adonai, Yahweh, etc.) NOT a Christ-figure/fictional name for God.
No foul language: Strong language is accepted, but no vulgar words or racial slurs.
No graphic/explicit spice: Cracked and closed-door books only!
No non-fiction: This channel is dedicated to fiction.
No ARCs/Beta Reading: I purchase the books I review, so I do not accept ARCs/beta reading. Submissions must be for books that are published/available by the closing date of requests [will update when reviews reopen].
Readers may also submit requests! If you’d like me to review one of your favorite Christian books, make sure the book follows the guidelines above, and I’ll take a look!
How to Submit…
Submit a request to my email [will post it when reviews open again]
Please include a summary of your book and the genre. I purchase every book I review! No need to send a copy, just tell me where I can buy the eBook. I don’t read paperbacks; I only buy them as trophies, so if there is no eBook, I will still accept your submission, but it may be on my TBR for years.
I do not reply to requests. I read every submission, but I don’t reply to them (sorry, I get SO many!). If your book is a good fit, I will purchase it and post my review once I’m finished. Keep an eye on my social media if you want to see my review!
Reviews will be posted on my IG or TikTok @ValicityElaine
I do not provide written reviews or associate with Goodreads at all.
