Log Cabin Book Review Guidelines

Submit book reviews related to log cabins, log homes or timber frame homes only - Every review is read beforehand and any that are not related to cabins or log home living will be deleted. We want to keep this focused on log home-related topics.

Submit original reviews - You must be the original author. We will book reviews similar to those you may have submitted elsewhere but will not publish anything that is copied or that you didn’t write.

Submit family-friendly material - No profanity please, it will simply be removed. We will not accept reviews that promote discrimination, bigotry, violence or pornography. This is not the place for that.

Submit informative and engaging pieces - We are not interested in posting extended advertisements or self-promotional material. Provide your readers with real-life experiences, give them recommendations, share your good reads and bad. Write something you would like to read.

Submit reviews of 400 words or more - The more words you provide, the easier it is for people to find and the more readers you will have! Remember, 400 words is only the minimum.
