Is your book ready for readers? Whether you're building buzz ahead of launch or breathing new life into a backlist title, a professional editorial review can be one of the most effective marketing tools in your arsenal. Read on to find out how Reedsy Discovery can help.
Submit your book to our reviewers
For $299 per review, you can submit your book to Reedsy Discovery's network of professional reviewers — many of whom have experience writing for leading trade publications. You can request up to 5 reviews per book.
When filling out the submission form, you'll be asked to enter information about your book, upload your manuscript, and add your payment details. You won't be charged until a reviewer completes and submits their review.
Once submitted, your book enters our review library, where reviewers can browse and select it for up to 3 months. When a reviewer picks up your book, they have 4 weeks to deliver an in-depth editorial review.
Your book also gets its own landing page on Discovery, complete with a preview chapter, purchase links, and any reviews you choose to display.
What you get
Each review is a 350+ word editorial assessment covering craft, character, structure, and themes. Reviews are honest and analytical — not promotional blurbs. You can use your review across Amazon, your author website, retailer listings, social media, and book covers. Books that receive strong reviews may be featured on the Discovery homepage, spotlighted in our weekly newsletter to hundreds of thousands of readers, and considered for the annual Discovery Editors' Choice Awards. You also have the choice to make any review you receive on Discovery private.
Submission guidelines
Reedsy Discovery accepts titles of all popular genres targeted at any age group. Your book should fulfill the following criteria:
- It should be completed, published, or publication-ready.
- It should be professionally edited and formatted.
- It should be written in English.
When you receive a review, you can choose to publish it on your Discovery book page or keep it private. To view the full submission guidelines, please head to this page.
