Submissions
The Romance Studio welcomes all review submissions, published with an established publishing company or self published, within the romance genre including erotic, inspirational, alternative lifestyle, BDSM and gothic romance. Reviews at TRS are written with the reader in mind and we strive to give a fair and honest assessment of the authors' work. Reviews are subjective, the opinion of the reviewer, and meant to assist readers in making selections for purchase. Favorable reviews can be valuable promotional material for authors, publishers, and promotional agents.
Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we do not guarantee to review every book submitted. We currently receive in excess of over 350 review submissions per month and our reviews staff is made up of about 30 volunteer reviewers. The following should be noted:
- We reserve the right not to review any book at our discretion.
- We do not guarantee a time period within which any review will be completed.
- We do not guarantee a glowing review for every book submitted. We ask for patience and that submitters don't continually email to follow up. It won't hasten our efforts.
- If the submittee is not happy with the resulting review, we will NOT reconsider the work for an additional review until the desired result is achieved.
- We will not delete a review just because we are asked to do so by the submitter because the review rating is not as expected.
- We are not a critique service. We will not review or give opinions on works-in-progress or unpublished works.
- All books submitted should have been through the full editing process before submissions. i.e. the copy you send us for review should be what will be released for purchase.
- We do not include cover art with reviews.
- If you have questions please email us and be sure to include the title, author's name, publisher's release date, and submission date along with your question.
Also books submitted with the following subject matter will NOT be reviewed:
- sexual relations with the minors
- torture and/or mutilation
- non-consensual sexual relations
- use of bodily functions (feces, "golden showers", etc.)
