ADDITIONAL INFO:
Any requests to review your book will be sent to you via email. You will need to follow up with each requestor and plan to send a copy of your book to review. We recommend that you connect with each requestor right away. If that’s not possible, then within 48 hours of receiving the request. We have found that the authors who respond quickly increase their chances of receiving a review of their book. Our reviewers are excited to review your book!
We have found that sending a PDF file of your book is the easiest format to work from. If you wish, you can add a watermark that clearly says that the digital copy is for review only to your book file.
When a request to review a book is made, we supply a link to our Book Review form on our website. However, it always is helpful to also include the link to the form when you send the PDF. We recommend that you provide information on how to buy the book and also ask for the recipient to acknowledge receipt of the book.
If a reasonable amount has time has passed and you have not heard from a requestor, you may send a friendly follow-up email.
Any reviews we receive (either positive or critical) will be sent to you! We will only post 5-star reviews on our website. CLICK HERE to view a sample of book reviews we’ve received.
