Lidija Hilje’s Early

Review Team Application

Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of my Early Review Team!

An Early Review Team (sometimes also referred to as an author’s Street Team) is a team of enthusiastic readers who want to receive an advanced reader copy (ARC) of the author’s work and (providing they like what they read) help the author build hype about their upcoming novel.

Your responsibilities, as a member:

  1. read the novel;

  2. (providing you liked the book), leave a rating and review on Goodreads (and Storygraph, if you have an account there);

  3. Post about your review or something else about the book on social media (IG, FB, TikTok, Threads) to help spread the word;

  4. During the publication week (July 8-15/2025) leave a rating and review on Amazon.

Perks include:

  • A free digital ARC of SLANTING TOWARDS THE SEA

  • Access to the original query letter that got 9 full requests and three offers of representation

  • Recipes for three dishes mentioned in the book (chickpea stew; buzara, rožata).

  • My never-ending gratitude :)

If chosen, I’ll be in contact via email to send a digital ARC. Thank you for your interest!
