Our standards
Payment buys a review. It never buys the verdict.
-
The reviewer decides
Authors can’t edit, approve or veto what a reviewer writes. We correct factual errors, never opinions.
-
Blind to the package
Reviewers are never told what was paid. A priority review is read sooner, not more kindly.
-
Always disclosed
Every published review is clearly labeled as commissioned by the author or publisher.
Brought to you by the minds and hearts of Lawley Publishing.
We have spent years making books for children. Now we are building a place where every children’s book gets a fair, careful read, and our reviews stay independent, including reviews of Lawley titles.
