• if you are a librarian or bookseller who includes information about your ALA membership, bookstore affiliation, or other supporting material in your bio
Regarding bloggers, bookstagrammers, booktokers, and Goodreads reviewers:
• Your platform should be updated daily or almost daily and have a significant number of followers
• Content must be relevant to the book being requested (e.g., a science fiction blogger requesting a literary novel or a YA site requesting a political nonfiction title is unlikely to be approved)
