Authors:
Please let me know of any conflicts not already mentioned as soon as possible. I will be generating a review schedule in a few days.

Authors:Please read Rhian's post in this topic. Let me know either by posting here or by private message whether her submission is acceptable to the group.

Authors:Your voices have been heard. A review group has been set up for Alternate History books. Go to this address to sign up: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
R.
In joining this review group you have agreed to review the books assigned to you on a two month schedule. This group is now in the review phase and is no longer open for sign up.This is Alternate History Review Group 1. (Alternate History stories are predicated on the question, what if something happened differently than it did. They may take place in the past, present, or future.) As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the books assigned to you. Assignments will be made after the group sign-up has filled.
Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. The review should be posted to Amazon (US and UK) as well, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.
Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work. Note that Amazon has made a minor change in how reviews are displayed. As long as a review that is not verified as a purchase is recent, it will be displayed on the book's Amazon page. Once it rolls off, it will still be counted in the ranking of the book, but the link to show more reviews has been modified by Amazon to show only reviews that come from verified purchases. Authors may consider gifting their book to assigned reviewers so that they will qualify as verified purchases. Reviewers may bypass this limitation by offering to purchase the books assigned to them. All of this is voluntary. Authors may still provide review copies for free, and reviewers can still post reviews to Amazon that are not from a verified purchase. This change in Amazon policy has no effect on Goodreads.
Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews. Authors may respond to reviews, but any form of harassment or anger directed at reviewers will be treated as a violation of the terms of service for this group.
If you are going to be late with your review, either post to this topic as soon as possible or message the author and the moderator.
If your book has not been reviewed by the deadline for either round, contact the review group moderator. This is necessary to make certain that the review process is fair for everyone.
Note that any participant who makes no effort to fulfill his or her commitment to this group will have all reviews of his or her work resulting from this group deleted and his or her membership in the Genre Specific Review Group will be terminated.

1 E.M. Swift-Hook - Dying to be Roman

Correction made. No problem.
R.
Authors:A tentative schedule has been posted in the initial post of this topic. It does not start until June 22, because I want to give everyone a chance review it and let me know about any conflicts I missed. (There were a lot of conflicts.) So do not get a review copy of your first round assignment until June 22. Also, these groups are normally scheduled for two months (One month for each round.) I scheduled this one for two months, because that is what it says in the description. However, since these are short stories, there is no reason that we cannot finish early.

No schedule has been posted yet. When it is, it will be in the initial comment of this topic.
R.
Authors:We now have eight participants. I will be posting the schedule of review in a few days. If there is any conflict not already noted, please let me know as soon as possible.

What is the name of the story from this book that will be reviewed in this group?

On another point, I have just finished a short story myself. I would like to participate in this group as an author. Do any of the current participants feel uncomfortable with the moderator also participating as an author?R.
Authors:We have an author that has submitted a work described as romantic erotica. Are there any authors who are not willing to review a work in this category?
