Paid Book Request Policy

⭐ Spill the Plot — Paid Book Request Policy

At Spill the Plot, I love giving readers the deep-dive, spoiler-rich reviews you’re looking for. Paid Fast Track and Priority requests help me bump your book to the top of my reading list — but they do come with a few guidelines so everything stays fair, transparent, and smooth.

📌 Turnaround Times

  • Fast Track ($10): Your review will be published within 7 days.
  • Priority Rush ($25): Your review will be published within 72 hours.

(If I anticipate any delay due to emergencies or scheduling conflicts, I’ll notify you immediately.)

📌 What’s Included

Each paid request includes:

  • ● A full Spill the Plot–style plot summary
  • ● Spoilers included
  • ● Ending explanations
  • ● Character breakdown
  • ● My personal review and rating
  • ● Custom images (fiction only)
  • ● Book Club Q&As
  • ● Plot holes and logic gaps

You are paying for my time to read + write the review, not for any particular star rating or interpretation of the book.

📌 Refund & Cancellation Policy

To keep things fair and consistent:

  • Refunds are only available if I have not started reading the book yet.
  • Once reading begins — even if I’m 2% in — the request becomes non-refundable.
  • Refunds are not available for:
    • Disagreement with my opinions, interpretations, or star rating
    • Personal preference over tone, writing style, or content of the review
    • Disliking spoilers (reviews on my site always include them)

If I cannot complete the book for any reason (extremely rare), I will offer a refund.

📌 Honesty Policy

Paid requests do not influence:

  • ● star ratings
  • ● tone
  • ● opinions
  • ● content of the review

You’re paying for placement in the queue — not a positive review. All reviews remain honest, candid, and in my signature Spill the Plot style.

📌 Content Limitations

I reserve the right to decline a request if:

  • the book contains extreme or illegal content
  • the book is unavailable to purchase in the U.S. or I’m unavailable to find the book in the time requested
  • the request goes against my site’s content standards

If declined, you will receive a full refund in the original form of payment.

📌 Usage Rights

All written content on Spill the Plot — including paid-request reviews — is my original work.

You may:
  • share a link
  • quote a short section (with credit)
You may not:
  • repost the full review elsewhere
  • claim authorship
  • use the review commercially

⭐ Quick Disclaimer

By submitting a paid request, you agree to the policies above and understand that all reviews are honest, spoiler-filled, and non-refundable once reading has begun.
