Legal bits
(Long version - yawn!)
(Long version - yawn!)
- By receiving these two ebooks, you agree that you will leave a review on at least one, but preferably two, of the review platforms listed on this page. This will be your accepted form of "payment" instead of paying through means of currency.
- By receiving these two ebooks, you understand that they are copyrighted under the laws of the United Kingdom as well as other international laws. This means that you shall not share, give away, copy, re-upload or sell the ebooks given to you or transmit them by other electronic or non-electronic means to other persons, storage devices or elsewhere. You may however quote snippets for review purposes.
- By receiving these two ebooks, you acknowledge that failure to abide by the copyright notice, both above and within the ebooks themselves, may place you liable to face legal action in accordance to the laws of the United Kingdom and international.
- By receiving these two ebooks, you agree to publish your review(s) on any of the given platforms on this page within four (4) weeks of receiving them.
- Don't be a dick.
Review guidelines
- The reviews should be written very clearly and in a professional manner.
- Although Scott understands English is not everyone's first language, it is preferable that the reviews be written in the English language.
- The length of the review should not be less than 100 words. Up to 200 words or more is preferable. The length is up to the reviewer, given that it is not less than 100 words long.
- Your review should be honest. Scott does not tolerate authors who force, pay or condition their reviewers to only write completely positive reviews. These authors are causing other honest indie authors to become obscure to their audience. Such corrupt authors have no right to be in the book business.
- You ideally should try and include:
i) What you enjoyed/disliked about the book
ii) Details about the writing style
iii) Advice and criticism for the author, if any
iv) Would you recommend it - After writing the review(s), please send the link(s) to the review(s) to the email address that responds to your application.
- We absolutely promise that none of the details you enter into the contact form are given out to anyone, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 (of the UK). Scott is annoyed with the spam he gets from "contact info sellers" too.
- There is no deadline to apply, but once five reviewers have been picked no more will be accepted.
- If the volume is high, we may not be able to respond to each email.
- Please allow 24 hours or more for a response. After 72 hours, please assume that all free spots have been taken.
A message from Scott A. Butler himself:
Thank you for getting involved, everyone. I adore each and every one of my readers from the bottom of my heart. I write books and articles to entertain and educate, not out of greed or for ego. So if you have been entertained, please do let me know. It helps authors a lot if they know what kind of impact their work is having on readers. Many people will read a book and never consider leaving a review, which in turn leaves the author in the dark, some may even feel demotivated. Please, every time you buy a book from ANY author, consider leaving them a review. You may believe that authors don't even bother reading the reviews they get, but trust me, they do.
Your feedback is much more valuable than you might think.
Thank you and enjoy! :)
