If there’s anything you think we should be reading (or you want to give us anything to read!), please read the guidelines below and then fill in the form telling us a bit about it.
Guidelines for authors, publishers and publicists
Interested in sending us a book (or anything else)? If you are, here’s what you should know:
1. tastybooks is a personal blog written by James Appleby (and occasional contributors) with the primary purpose of reviewing food books that fit with our tastes and preferences
2. Consequently we will review things that we like the sound of. We will not guarantee to write about anything that we are sent, nor can we give any guarantees about the timeliness of reviews. As a general rule we will write about something only if we like it.
3. The best way to contact us is directly using the form below. We will always endeavour to to respond to your messages; however if you do not hear from one of us within about a week, you may assume the answer to your query is “thanks, but no thanks.”
4. A note for authors: if you would like us to review your book, do an interview with you, etc., please ask your publicist to contact us. We are currently not in a position to accept submissions directly from authors.
4. Please do NOT add us to any e-mail or distribution lists without asking us first.
5. For an indication of the types of books likely to get our attention, we recommend you peruse the reviews posted on the site, or look at the profiles on About.
6. If we do review something you provide, we will always let you know when the review is published.
7. We like books and food writing, but we’re not interested in reading electronic versions of publications. We spend enough time staring at computer screens as it is. No e-books or PDFs, thanks!
8. tastybooks is a personal venture and the views and opinions expressed in posts on the site are solely the opinions of their respective authors; they in no way represent the views of employers.
