Hello,

I would like to submit my novel, Becoming Liz, for AALBC book review consideration.

Author: Kitt McClain
Title: Becoming Liz
ISBN-13: 9798995239505
Publication date: May 10, 2026
Genre: Upmarket women’s fiction
Themes: Black family, sisterhood, healing, and Black joy
Available formats: paperback, hardcover, and ebook

Description:

Elizabeth Rutland doesn’t fall apart. She plans and adjusts, holding the pieces together before anyone sees the cracks. But when a public betrayal dismantles everything she thought was secure, the control she relies on fails. The life she had built fractures.

Becoming Liz traces one woman’s unraveling and the slow work of becoming whole. As Elizabeth confronts the truth, she must decide who she is without perfection, and whether she’s brave enough to choose herself.

A complimentary review copy is available upon request.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi @Kitt Thanks for sharing formation about your book.

I don't see your book in distribution; is it an Amazon only title? If so, consider opening it up to wide distribution. Many booksellers will not touch your book otherwise -- Indeed we don't do, free to the author, book reviews (that is one of several reasons we would pass on reviewing a book).

If you purchased the commissioned review we would do it.

I just checked out you site and see that you send readers to Amazon, which is fine, but consider fulfilling your own orders (does Amazon share the customer info?).

The site looks very nice, but I would consider adding some information the ISBN, page count, price, pub date on the page.
