We'll send you a review copy. You read it. That's the whole deal.

Reviewers, librarians, #BookTok, #superkidlit, comic-tok, and professional book-nerds: if you talk about the kind of books we make, we'll send you a review copy to read, on us. Reached here from an email, the footer, or the contact page? Same page, all roads.

Wayward Raven is an indie comic publisher. A decade in, still small, still excited. We do picture books like Percy: A Children's Adventure, anthologies that break the rules and the occasional writer's sanity, and the odd Kickstarter.

A review copy is a copy we send a reviewer free of charge, with exactly one expectation attached: that you read it. We won't be checking your clipboards. There's no contract, no deadline, no "you must post within 30 days," no review quota. Reviews are a gift we'd love — the honest kind, good or bad — but we don't attach conditions to a gift. Read it and hate it, say so loud. Read it and love it and never mention it to a soul, that's a little sad but it's your call. The book is yours either way.

Indie books live or die on word of mouth. We'd rather a real reader's honest take than a paid plug. You read. You decide. That's the arrangement.
