Reviews

One of the most horrific elements of modern self-publishing is the book review system and how it works.

As it is, whether a co-worker, an ex, an ex’s new flavor of the week, or a complete stranger, encounters you in real life or gets butt hurt by something you posted online after having one too many margaritas, once they find out that you are an author, it is faaaaaar too easy for them to go online, find your work, and post horrific reviews of it, of course without ever having read it and certinaly never having bought it. As if that’s not bad enough, getting those absurd and fraudulent reviews removed from Google or Amazon is next to impossible. What’s more, companies like Kirkland Reviews charge obscene amounts of money to have people review your work and post their findings. The only thing good about that part is that you can guarantee that the review is natural and unbiased, even though it was directly paid for by the author.

This warped and severely biased system has to change – now it has.

Here at Talking Book Club.com,  we racked our brains long and hard to develop a system that was systemically neutral and unbiased, but which also works to get all of our author members a bunch of reviews they don’t have to go begging or paying for, and neither do we.

The solution? Talking Book Club.com now offers our reader subscribers monthly membership credits based on the number of independent book reviews they conduct. This guarantees a high number of completely independent and unbiased reviews while generating a constant flow of organic reviews for authors. What’s more, should some rabid doxxer manage to get in and leave a fraudulently scathing review of an author’s book, we can and will easily remove the review – especially when our investigation shows they never purchased the book.
