Bookideas Rapid Review
Here at Bookideas.com we've had authors request that their book be moved to the top of the review pile. We admit that there are times when it takes a little longer than an author hopes for to be reviewed. Bookideas reviewers handle scores of books each week. So how can an author get a review posted quickly? We are now offering a service to address this issue.
Our Rapid Review Service employs professional reviewers who will indeed put your book at the top of their pile. Your review will be completed within 15 business days. In just three week's time, from the moment it arrives in our hands, your book will be read, critiqued, and the word spread on our pages.
We thought you might have a few questions about our new service, so we've tried to answer the most common.
Does ordering a Rapid Review guarantee a positive review?
No. Our professional reviewers are honest and straightforward. They have integrity, and will not be bought. (Not this cheaply anyway!) The reviews are just like any other and reflect the actual opinion of the reader.
Will anyone know that I've cut in line to get my review done quickly?
Nope. Rapid Reviews are posted just like every other review on Bookideas.com. There is absolutely no way to tell which ones have been given a "head of the line" pass.
What if I don't like the review when it's posted?
We haven't experienced many authors who haven't found our professional reviewer's words to be truthfully reflective of the book. But again, you are paying for the speedy (and thorough) service, not a rave. You might not agree with everything we have to say, but you'll have to trust that we know what we're talking about. Read through some reviews on our site of books that you've read, and see how good we are.
How much is the service and how do I pay for it?
The Rapid Review fee is $125. Payment is accepted thorough Paypal. You can use a credit card through their secure server and have a statement for your tax purposes. (Yes, marketing expenses like this are tax deductible!) Payment by check is also accepted by approval from Editor Heather Froeschl. Please make mention of this on your Rapid Review request form, below.
Is there anything you won't accept for Rapid Review?
We do insist on hard copy. No ebooks, pdfs, or electronic manuscript files. If you are in the bound galley stage, okay. If you are wanting us to read your proof copy, okay but it won't be returned. If you have hardback, softcover, all the better, that's what we want.
What next?
Simply fill out the form and our Rapid Review Editor will be in touch shortly to tell you which of our professional authors to mail your book to. Be sure you enter your email address in correctly, or we won't know how to reach you.
Feel free to contact Rapid Review Editor Douglas Malcolm, if you have any questions or concerns not addressed here.
