Review Copies for Readers

TripFiction is the site for both actual and armchair travellers who are looking for fiction that brings a location to life. We have a rolling list of books for review and our current titles are updated regularly below. Come and add your voice to the site and make this an even more valuable resource for the travelling community.

We will send a review copy out to anyone who fancies a dip into published and pre-release fiction. All the books are, of course, set somewhere interesting around this amazing planet of ours.

Just choose a title from the list below and we will send it out to you postage paid. All we ask in return is that give your book a star rating for content and location, and add your review on the TripFiction website. How much did you enjoy the story, how evocative was it of location? 

"See a location through an author's eyes"

You don't have to send the copies back, they are yours to keep or to pass on to others.

Just  let us know which book you would be interested in via contact or leave a comment in the Comments Box. Click on the title of each book to find out more.

Books will be sent out on a first come, first serve basis.
