Because Every Story Deserves Its Ever After.
Best Sites to Get Reviews for Your Book
Reviews are vital to a book’s success. They build trust, help new readers decide to take a chance on your story, and can make all the difference in sales.
But here’s the tricky part—most readers are quiet supporters who love a book but never leave a review.
That’s where EverHarmony Press can help. Here is where you will find book review methods that are not only affordable they actually work.
Book Bounty is a give-and-take review program where authors earn points by reading—and use those points to get reviews for their own books.
What sets it apart is how active the reader community is. I've tried many programs like this before, but this is the first one where I consistently see real results. You can request free reviews or verified reviews, depending on what your launch needs.
While participation isn’t completely free, packages start as low as $4.99, and most include a 14-day free trial, which makes it a great option if you’re prepping for a launch and want to start building momentum early.
I cannot express this enough: NetGalley is the go-to tool not only for generating reviews on sites like Amazon and Goodreads, but also for spreading the word to the masses about your title in ways that most authors don’t even realize.
There’s a clear strategy for building that buzz—and the big publishers know it.
They keep their books visible on NetGalley’s front page as long as possible, because that’s where real discovery happens. The front page drives immediate exposure to thousands of librarians, educators, booksellers, and active reviewers who browse daily. So if you’re serious about maximizing reviews, reader awareness, and of course sales the best strategy is simple—keep your book on NetGalley’s front page as much as possible. Visibility creates momentum, and momentum creates results.
How EverHarmony Press Makes NetGalley Affordable
EverHarmony Press maintains a publisher-level NetGalley account, giving independent authors access to the same professional tools and visibility that major publishing houses use—without the $550+ upfront cost of a direct listing.
Through our co-op system, we offer individual NetGalley slots at just $99 per month, allowing authors to share our publisher access while still receiving personal guidance.
Each listing is fully managed by EverHarmony Press and includes category optimization, metadata polish, and visibility tracking to help maximize your reach and review potential. It’s a practical, affordable way to get your book in front of librarians, educators, booksellers, and professional reviewers—the same audiences big publishers rely on to build pre-release buzz.
So far, I’ve been genuinely impressed with BookReverb. Unlike many review platforms, it’s straightforward, transparent, and not subscription-based, which makes it much easier to manage than pay-monthly models. The readers seem genuinely engaged — not just rushing through books — and I’ve already seen verified Amazon reviews starting to appear.
It’s still early, but BookReverb is showing real potential as one of the most promising new review platforms I’ve tested so far. The other part I like is it's fairly hands off. I don't have to read another authors book to get a review so it's much less work and saves me time so I can concentrate on writing.
