Review copies, not review buying.

Review Copy Club sells reader matching, delivery, reminders, and reporting. Reviews are honest and voluntary, and authors cannot require positive language or private reader contact.

Rules baked into the product

  • No guaranteed number of reviews.
  • No star-rating promises or positive-review requests.
  • No cash, gift cards, or bonuses to readers for reviewing.
  • No direct author pressure on readers.
  • Reader identities and emails are private by default.
  • Authors must attest that they have the right to distribute each review copy.
  • KDP Select / KU-sensitive books require author-confirmed permitted delivery.

What authors pay for

Authors pay for the campaign workflow: reader matching, review-copy delivery, reminder timing, claim tracking, review URL collection, and private feedback reporting. That service is useful whether a reader eventually posts a public review or decides the book was not a fit.

That distinction matters. Review Copy Club does not sell review counts, star ratings, praise, or public posts. Campaign pricing is based on book credits and reader claims, not review outcomes.

Review campaign pricing

What readers control

Readers choose whether to claim a book, whether to finish it, and whether to leave a public review. They can also send private feedback or close a claim without reviewing. Authors see campaign status, but they do not get direct access to reader contact details.

This keeps the experience honest for readers and cleaner for authors who want more discovery without drifting into pressure, incentives, or review manipulation.

How reader claims work

Compliance checklist before a campaign goes live

Every campaign should clearly describe the book, format, delivery method, timing, and review expectations. Authors must confirm they have distribution rights for the copy they provide, especially for Kindle Unlimited-sensitive ebooks or limited audiobook codes.

Reader-facing copy should invite an honest review without asking for a specific rating, favorable wording, or a review in exchange for compensation. For practical examples, read how to request ARC reviews without breaking etiquette.
