Frequently Asked Questions
Will the review be positive? +

Can I use the review on Amazon? +
The review can be used as editorial content where appropriate. It must not be submitted as an Amazon customer review.
How do you choose reviewers? +
We match submissions according to genre, subject, reviewer experience, and relevant reading expertise.
How long does it take? +
Standard delivery is 7–10 business days after your submission is accepted and payment is completed.
Do I need to send a physical copy? +

What if I'm not happy with the review? +
Editorial independence means the final assessment cannot be changed simply because the verdict is unfavorable. If there is a factual or process issue, contact us and we will review it.
