Review services

Our team of reviewers come from a variety of experience, education, expertise, and walks of life. Each one takes pride in being a reviewer for Reader Views. The reviewers are encouraged to give their honest and fair personal opinion. They are never told what to write. Please consider the reviewers as your reading audience.

Our reviews appear on amazon.com, on Fox News, USA Today, Reuters and NBC. They also appear on iVillage, in newspapers such as Austin American Statesman in Austin, Texas, Chicago Sun-Times, and Journal-News in Hamilton, Ohio and on many online websites and blogs as well as city sites such as Click2Houston. TV stations such as WCVBTV/DT5, NEWS4Jax, WXII12, KETV, KITV, WISN, WMUR, and WJAC also use our reviews.

We review books for well known authors such as James Patterson and those that are unknown, self-published or published by a small press. Fox News named Reader Views as one of the top five blog sites for health related books. Our reviews are also placed in the BRI (Book Review Index) distributed to libraries and book sellers.

Regular review

This is our basic free review service. Effective immediately, due to the overwhelming amount of submissions and high costs of processing, our policies have changed. We will accept books, galleys and ARCs, for free reviews, however, we are limiting the number of free reviews we will give each week. If you have a manuscript you want reviewed, please contact us. Please see guidelines for submission information.

Express review package A

You will receive a tear sheet of the review within two weeks from the time the reviewer receives your publication, (book, galley, manuscript, audio CD, ebook) posting on our website as well as weblog, and amazon.com. You are not purchasing a review - you are paying for a stipend that goes to the reviewer to express review your publication. Payment must be received before the reviewer will commence reading. See chart below.
