Review Policy

Honest reviews are more useful than loud reviews.

My Blurbly encourages emotional context, spoiler safety, ARC disclosure, source labels, reviewer reliability and constructive criticism.

Trusted reviewer badges

Badges should reflect useful, disclosed and reliable behaviour rather than popularity alone.

Reviews should make spoiler level clear so readers can choose how much to see.

Moderation should reduce coordinated abuse, harassment, spam and fake activity.

Review forms should ask what worked, what confused the reader and who would enjoy the book.

Tags like comforting, unsettling, romantic, hopeful or intense make discovery more useful.

ARC context should travel with the review so readers know how the reviewer accessed the book.

Reviews should sit beside clear source status for the book, including preview, verified, claimed or ARC-available labels.
