edit data

As well as writing books, I love to read, and I will happily read and review ARCs and published books from authors, publishers and publicists - I will read ALL GENRES, FICTION AND NON-FICTION. Unlike many summary reviews you find on Goodreads, my reviews are bloggy and detailed; I write hundreds of words.

My reviews are posted here on Goodreads, at Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and at my own popular blog:

https://www.mattmcavoy.com/your-book-...

Reviews can be added to Amazon in Author Central, as Editorial Reviews. I also offer beta-reading, synopsis-writing, proofreading and copy-editing services, all of which can also be found at my website. ...more
