Terms & Service
LitPick promotes reading and writing as well as connecting authors to readers. We are exclusively dedicated to providing reviewer opinions on new young adult literature by encouraging students from 4th grade through college to read and write reviews on new young adult titles. Having started in 2002 as Flamingnet Teen Book Reviews, we are a growing online community of students, librarians, teachers, authors, publishers, and others who are passionate about young adult books.
Visitors to LitPick can read our young adult reviews without becoming members, but LitPick student reviewers and members of our site do receive special benefits. These special benefits include access to our wish list and announcements about special offers such as our giveaway contests.
We trust that the information you provide us when signing up to become a LitPick student reviewer or member is correct, honest, and not misleading in any way.
Please contact us for permission to use quotes, reviews, awards, or other content from our site. We are very accommodating and usually will be more than happy to consent.
LitPick evaluates all student reviews before they are posted, and we monitor our forum posts to the best of our ability; but we take no responsibility and assume no liability for content that is posted on LitPick by you or by anyone else. We particularly will assume that all written materials submitted to LitPick by publishers and authors are original works and that those sending us these materials have the right to distribute them to us for review or for other use on our website.
