Please remember, reviews are the opinion of the reviewer, and are just that – opinions.  Books are received from publishers, authors, publicity firms, and select sites online.  Additionally, there are books from the reviewer’s own library.  Regardless of the source, all reviews are the opinion of the reviewer and are never subjected to outside  influence of any sort.

Please remember to write according to the genre chosen.  And most of all, remember the basics of storytelling:  Characters – Plot – Conflict – Show not Tell.

I sincerely thank you for choosing Kid Lit Reviews.  It is an honor to read and review a new title, especially when it has not yet been released.  That is a wonderful perk and I thank you.

–Sue Morris, Kid Lit Reviews
