***Chanticleer Book Review Package: Since we have 16 fiction divisions plus seven non-fiction divisions along with Series and Shorts, it may take up to a year to receive the awarded review. We schedule approximately eight-to-ten winning titles to be reviewed per month. Awarded winning titles are placed the review queue. The first selected reviews will appear a few months after the Chanticleer Awards Gala. Social media posting of reviews will commence on the date that the CBR review is published to the Chanticleer website. If the winning title has been previously reviewed by Chanticleer Reviews, a refund will not be given. Awarded book review packages are non-transferable and are valid only for the award-winning author. If you need a more timely review, to coordinate with a release date or other types of promotion, we suggest that the authors take advantage of the discount voucher (please ask if one was not provided to you) for a scheduled expedited review package. We are a small company with a limited staff. We pay our reviewers for each and every review that they write whether they were purchased at full price or awarded as part of contest winnings. Thank you for understanding and thank you for your patronage and support that makes Chanticleer Reviews possible.
Award-winning manuscripts will be placed in the review queue once the author informs us that they are ready for publication and sends us the ARC (advance reader copy).
***Book Reviews are for winning titles only and are non-transferable.
***Authors will receive a For Release copy of the review to use in the promotion of the award-winning title.
****Links to the downloadable “CBR shelf-talkers” (imagine the tags that you see taped to the stock shelves when you are selecting a bottle of wine) that coordinate with the title will be available after the CBR book review is published. Access will through the exclusive winners’ circle portal on the Chanticleer Reviews website.
We advise you to Follow, LIKE, and Circle Chanticleer Reviews so that we may tag you when we post.
