What is the Honey Blossom Press Reviewers & Influencers Program?

The Reviewers & Influencers Program is designed to connect books with readers who share identities and experiences with the characters and themes in a given title. While we cannot fulfill all requests, this program helps ensure that books with diverse representation reach the communities they reflect.

Who is eligible to receive review copies?

Honey Blossom Press works with a mix of influencers and reviewers regardless of where they are on their book loving journey. Our selection process reflects the books we are publishing, ensuring they reach the readers who connect with them most.

At this time, we primarily send physical copies to reviewers in the United States. Digital copies may be available to international readers via NetGalley or other platforms.

We prioritize influencers and reviewers who share an identity with the book’s themes and characters. This can include, but is not limited to:

• Racial and Ethnic Identity

• LGBTQ+ Identity

• Neurodivergence (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia)

• Mental Health Experiences (e.g., anxiety, depression, PTSD)

• Medical Experiences (e.g., living with or recovering from a medical condition, navigating the healthcare system, being a patient or caregiver)

• Religious or Cultural Background

• Parenting, Caregiving, and Family Experiences

• Professional or Career-Based Identity

We also welcome book bloggers, content creators, and reviewers who actively engage with their audiences on social media, blogs, and review platforms.

What types of books do you offer for review?

Honey Blossom Press publishes books across multiple genres, with a focus on stories that highlight underrepresented voices. We offer advance reader copies (ARCs) and finished copies in the following categories:

• Romance

• Mystery & Thrillers

• Science Fiction & Fantasy

• Women’s Fiction

• Historical Fiction

• Literary & Upmarket Fiction

• Speculative Fiction

• Memoir & Biography

• Self-Help & WellnessBusiness & Career

• Parenting & Family

• True Crime & Social Issues

• Food & Pop Culture

• Young Adult (YA)

• Middle Grade (MG)

Each review opportunity will specify the book’s genre, themes, and available formats.

What formats are available?

We offer:

• Physical copies (availability depends on region and inventory)

• Digital copies (eBooks via NetGalley, Edelweiss , or direct distribution)

• Audiobooks (availability varies)

Due to limited print runs, not all requests for physical copies can be fulfilled. If a physical copy is unavailable, a digital copy may be offered instead.

How do I request a review copy?

To request a book, fill out the official request form linked in our announcements or email publicity@honeyblossom.press. Forms will specify book details, available formats, and submission deadlines.

After the form closes, selected reviewers will be contacted via email. Due to high demand, we are unable to respond to all requests.

You can also apply to be a part of our program by clicking here.

When will I know if I’ve been selected?

If you are selected, you will receive an email with further details. If you do not receive a confirmation email, we encourage you to apply for future opportunities.

What are the expectations for reviewers?

If you receive a review copy, we ask that you:

• Post a review in a timely manner

• Share your review on at least one platform, such as Goodreads, Amazon, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube

• Tag @honeyblossompress in your posts and use one of our designated hashtags

• Disclose that you received the book for free, in compliance with FTC guidelines

If reading isn’t possible, you can still support the book by:

• Sharing an unboxing or first impressions post

• Featuring it in a reading stack, TBR post, or upcoming reads highlight

• Boosting other reader discussions about the book

Even small moments of engagement help!

Last but not least, we value honest reviews and constructive feedback. If a book just didn’t quite do it for you as expected, feel free to share your thoughts but we ask that you do so in a constructive way. We also ask that you do not tag authors in negative reviews. If you’d like to discuss further, you’re welcome to email us.

How can I join the Reviewers & Influencers Program?

If you would like to be considered for future review opportunities, please opt-in on our request form or contact us at publicity@honeyblossom.press . We also welcome referrals from reviewers who know someone who would be a great fit.

How do I contact Honey Blossom Press?

We do our best to read all requests, but due to volume, we may not be able to reply to every email. If you haven’t heard back within six weeks of the book’s release, feel free to follow up. For questions or inquiries, please email publicity@honeyblossom.press.

Additionally, if you’re an event where one of our titles would be welcomed, we’d love to hear from you and see if we can support in any way.
