Escala’s Wish was reviewed my Booklife on January 2, 2026. I am absolutely thrilled with this review—it exceeded my expectations and truly means a great deal to me. BookLife is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious literary review outlets in the industry, second only to Kirkus, alongside BlueInk and Foreword Reviews, making this recognition especially meaningful. Even more exciting, my Kirkus review is due any day now.
BookLife reviews are highly respected in literary circles because they are produced by the editorial arm of Publishers Weekly, one of the most influential trade publications in the publishing industry.
Librarians, booksellers, agents, and industry professionals trust BookLife because its reviews focus on craft, market positioning, and production quality, not just reader reaction. A strong BookLife review signals that a book meets professional publishing standards and is viable for libraries, awards, and broader distribution. For independent and small-press authors especially, BookLife carries weight because it places their work on the same evaluative footing as traditionally published titles, making it a key credential in serious literary and library consideration.
