TikTok is a great place to watch other people review books. Approaching TikTokers with a free reader copy may incentivise them to review your work, but if you’re having trouble generating interest in your novel or manuscript, our ARC and BETA reader service might interest you. 

​We currently have a pool of over 160 readers and are adding to this pool every day with motivated and interested individuals who are looking for new titles to read and review.  Reviews help a book get noticed on Amazon and provide social proof to other readers that the book is worth buying, which considerably helps when readers are choosing between one book or another. They also help the book stand out amongst many other competing titles.
