Recently I've been contacted by publishers and an individual creator or two who are interested in sending me comics to review. Which is kind of cool. But I figure I should have some sort of policy for accepting review materials. So here it is (subject to change of course if things turn out to be unworkable):
- I will generally accept just about anything for review. I have a pretty wide range of tastes in comics, but please look at the sorts of things that I've reviewed in the past to get a feel of what those tastes are.
- Please contact me first before sending review materials.
- I will try to write at least a quick review for everything sent to me. I will write a longer review if I feel I have more to say.
- I will apply the same standards to submitted comics as I do to my normal reviews; note the ratings system that appears over in the sidebar of every page.
- I will note in the review that I was provided with a review copy.
- I have a huge backlog of stuff to read, so I may not get to your material right away.
- I prefer reading comics in print (I spend enough hours at work staring at a computer screen!) I will still consider reviewing electronic copies, but won't guarantee.
- I will donate review copies of materials I receive either to the academic collection at my library or to the local public library (depending on where it is most appropriate). If neither library wants it, I'll pass it on in some other way.
I hope that the above seems sensible, and that it will be workable. We shall see...
