What do you mean? You want reviewers to review your book and publish their thoughts on the internet? Like at Amazon?

Hello,
getting reviews are difficult especially on Amazon. I have checked on other review sites and majority of them will charge money to post a review of your book. I managed to find one site readersfavorite.com that will review a book for free if you don't mind the wait. They do have paid services that will review a book for faster results.

Regarding this site, people come on here and ask for reviews. I've reviewed someone's book for free in the past. So perhaps you can just post a link to your book here and ask for volunteers for a review. Would that be what you're looking for?

Personally, I would never pay for a review. And in any case, they can be positive or negative. And sometimes they are fake reviews. I hope Amazon puts more tools to avoid having unverified-purchases reviews.

Nancy i couldn't have put it better, onc person's interest in a specific subject is completely different to another. It is a reality though that the majority of consumers do pay attentiom to the reviews. It does create book buzz whether the review is good or bad. Amazon currently has a rule whereas people who purchasee the book should spend a certain amount before being able to write review, I think they should really think of changing this...not everyone has the budget for this also it robs the author from someone that was willing to write a review just because they could not afford to meet the purchase target at check-out. It is hard enough to get reviews.

Feel free to read and be so kind to review my poetic diary * Same Journey Different Paths *
