The 200th FlaxFlower book review
has been posted 
on the FlaxFlower page
Picture
​I started FlaxFlower in 2014 as a free service to fellow Kiwi authors, who often find it difficult to have their books reviewed. At the time I committed to do it for the year. Then thought, maybe a further year, and now…

The process – When I get a request for a review, I find a suitable reviewer from my stable of lovely people who volunteer their time and expertise. My rule is that reviewer and author do not know each other – essential for an unbiased opinion.

Picture
When the review comes in I let the author or publicist see it first and decide whether or not they want it published – a yes or no decision, no negotiation or rewriting. FlaxFlower might be unique in this. My reason for giving the choice is I want to help promote good books, not to pull down any writer. Some authors choose to take the no-publish option, so the number of reviews processed is higher than 200.

Yes, all the administration takes a lot of my time.
Yes, I sometimes think I could spend it more profitably in another way - in the garden, patting cats, or even on my own writing! 

My grateful thanks to the reviewers who also give their time. If you'd like to join them, please let me know via the contact page.
