Bookideas Rapid Review
Here at Bookideas.com we've had authors request that their book be moved to the top of the review pile. There are certainly times when it takes longer than an author hopes for to be reviewed, because Bookideas reviewers handle many books each week. So how can an author get a review posted quickly? We offer 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 and posted within 15 days. In just two week's time (plus 1 day for you Math Majors out there), your book will be read, critiqued, and the word spread on our pages. You will be free to use the review in any way you see fit. We have had quotes from our reviews used on back covers, or used as the "Editorial Review" at Amazon.com. Rapid Review books also become Featured Reviews on the front page of our site, and we will post our review at Amazon.com for you.
Commonly asked questions;
How much is the service and how do I pay for it?
The Rapid Review fee is $125. Payment is accepted thorough Paypal. Payment by check is also accepted, and can be sent along with the book.
What exactly do I get with a Rapid Review?
- Your book, professionally reviewed within 15 days. You will be free to use the review, in whole or in part, in any way you like.
- Our review of your book, posted at Bookideas.com for as long as the site exists (11 years and counting).
- Our review of your book posted to Amazon.com.
- Your book becomes a Featured Review on the front page of our site. Featured Reviews last in rotation on the front page for about a month.
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. If you are truly dissatisfied with your review after it has been posted, we may delete the review from our database at your request. Note that this has never been requested in several years of doing rapid reviews. Deleting our review does not entitle you to a refund of the rapid review fee.
Is there anything you won't accept for Rapid Review?
We prefer hardcopy. Ebooks, pdfs, or electronic manuscript files may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. Please note this on the form below if you intend to send softcopy.
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.
