BUILD YOUR AUDIENCE WITH A PROFESSIONAL BOOK REVIEW
HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
We took a look at the alternatives and found that there needed to be a better way for authors to get their books reviewed...
Submitting your book for a traditional review…
• You don’t know where it’s going or who’s desk it’s going to land on
• You don’t know if it will be selected for a review
• You don’t know how long it will take if it is selected
• You don’t have control over where and when it is published
• You may not have rights or control to publish or distribute the review in the way you want
Asking a reader to review your book…
• The review may be short and lack depth (e.g. “I loved it.” “It was interesting.”)
• The English or grammar may be poor
• The review may not provide critical feedback on important elements of your book or provide insight into why a reader should read it
• The reader may not actually have read the book
