Ashley Nestler, MSW

Pronouns: they/them

CEO of Peachy Keen Reviews & Bibliotherapy

My name is Ashley Nestler, MSW and I am an author, mental health specialist, bibliotherapist, and book reviewer. I am the CEO of the mental health organization Releasing the Phoenix, its associated school, The Ignite and Rise Academy, as well as Peachy Keen Reviews & Bibliotherapy, and The Horror Maven – a celebration of the macabre.

My first novel, Beautiful Nightmare, was published when I was eighteen years old, and I have since written two other novels – one under a pen name. My horror poems and short stories have been included in various anthologies. I have been a professional book reviewer since 2016.

Book Review Information

I am very passionate about indie publishing as I am an indie author myself, and I love to read and review books in the following genres:

• Horror
• Science Fiction
• Fantasy
• Young Adult
• New Adult
• Lit Fic
• Contemporary
• LGBTQIA+

It is important to note that I DO NOT review:

• Erotica

• However, your novel can include some spice if it falls under any of the above genres, but the erotic scenes cannot be the primary focus.

*All of my reviews are posted on Peachy Keen Reviews & Bibliotherapy, Facebook, Medium, Amazon, Goodreads, and LinkedIn.*

For all review requests, please fill out the following form:

My rating scale is as follows:

• 5 Stars – Phenomenal! I experienced pure enjoyment from this read.
  
• 4 Stars – This was an excellent read! But it had a few flaws.
  
• 3 Stars – This was an okay read, but I didn’t love it,
  
• 2 Stars – There were too many flaws for me to enjoy this read, but it had a few merits that other readers may enjoy.
  
• 1 Star – I did not enjoy this read, and I found that it didn’t have any merits.

*My reviews all include in-depth reasoning as to why I rated the book the way that I did.*

IMPORTANT: I ONLY accept epub ebooks, audiobooks, or physical copies of books for review; HOWEVER, I review physical copies before I review ebooks.  This is only fair to those authors who go to the trouble to purchase and pay to send their book(s) to me.  Please take that into consideration and understand that if you send me an ebook the wait time will be longer.  Thank you for your understanding.

Box/Product Review Information

I love reviewing subscription boxes and products in various niches, but I mainly focus on mental health and book-related products and subscriptions.  All of my reviews are honest and come with an in-depth description of each item reviewed, as well as detailed photos.  In special cases, I do provide video reviews of boxes and products.  As a previous business owner of a book subscription company (Literary Vacation Club), I use my unique perspective to review boxes and products based on the time and effort that goes into making them.
