When is the Best Time to Get Book
Reviews www.BookCaliber.com
Crafty authors want a book to launch
with reviews waiting. It’s becoming more and more popular to start
pre-orders of books. Review sites like www.bookcaliber.com
will offer a free copy of your book in exchange for reviews and
social shares.
Sites like NetGalley and BookCaliber
offer pre-released books so that when they become published they hit
the ground running with active sales and reviews. The clock starts
ticking when a new book is published. You want to show Amazon and
other book sites that the book is a best seller as quickly as
possible.
The best time to start getting reviews
is before the book is released. Reviews are a slow process. As an
author, you aren’t in direct control of them. You need to create
an environment as soon as possible that encourage as many reviews as
possible. Reviews that don’t violate Amazon (or other sites) terms
of service and review policies. Typically, every site including
Amazon will allow you to provide free review copies of your book.
However, paying directly, or incentivizing for positive reviews is
strictly prohibited.
When in doubt contact Amazon directly
about what you can and cannot do as far as reviews go. They change
their policies often. Always reach out to ensure you are following
them.
