To have a book CONSIDERED for review:
We are primarily interested in reviewing the following types of books: any genre that is Peace Corps related, as well as literary and poetry. We do not review academic books, and books that that have not been well edited.
If interested, write: marian@haleybeil.com for my mailing address, and send:
- a copy of your book,
- a one-sentence “selling line” to describe the book that will make a reviewer want to review it,
- your mailing address,
- email address,
- phone number, and
- country and years of Peace Corps service
A word of caution — we do not guarantee that your book will receive a positive review. Prior to publishing the review, we will send it to you if you request. If you are not happy with the review, we will not make alterations to it, we will simply not publish it, not publish any other review of it and make no mention of the book on the site.
