FAQ
Q: What's an ARC?
A: It's an Advanced Reader Copy. They're made available to reviewers before release.
Q: Why do authors give away books for free like this?
A: Because good, honest reviews create some hype around a book and boost sales.
Q: Is that even legal?
A: It is completely legal. All publishers send out ARCs. The only rule is you have to add a line to your review: "I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review."
Q: How can I review the book on Amazon if I didn't buy it there?
A: You can review any product on Amazon; you just need to log in using an account with a minimum spend (about $50 in the last 12 months).
Q: I'm not sure how to review a book. What do I need to write?
A: What do you think other readers should know? Tell them what you liked and why you liked it. If you think others will enjoy it, say that too. Just try not to give away any spoilers.
Q: What if I can't review it on time?
A: It's really important to get all ARC reviews up on Amazon within the first two weeks after release. If you don't think you can read it in time, then it's best you don't participate. However if life just gets in the way and you run out of time, let me know so I don't cross you off the list for next time.
Q: Will my friends see that I've been reading erotica?
A: Not if you change your privacy settings on Amazon. See my guide below.
Q: Amazon won't publish my review. Now what?
A: To discourage fake reviews, they only publish reviews from readers with a minimum spend - about $50 in the last 12 months. If you can't post the review on Amazon, please try posting it on Goodreads.
Q; What if I don't like the book.
A: That happens. Erotica is very personal and not every story will push your buttons. Some stories might actively turn you off. If you really think the book is poorly written and won't appeal to anyone, then of course you can leave me a bad review. But if you discovered that the book is just not your kind of erotica, then let me know it didn't work for you, and decline to leave a review. I can update the blurb to warn people of things that might turn them off.
Staying Private on Amazon
Don't want your friends seeing your erotica reviews? Me neither. But you can make your reviews anonymous.
- Log in to Amazon
- Click "Hello <name>, Your Account" in the top right corner
- Scroll down to Personalization and click "Your Public Profile"
- From the pull-down list in the middle of the page, select "Edit Privacy Settings"
- Check the box for "Hide sensitive activity" and hit Save
- UNcheck the box for "Reviews" so that friends looking at your profile cant see your reviews
- Go back to Your Public Profile, select "Edit Profile"
- Change your profile name to something anonymous, like your initials. Hit Save
- Now go to View "Your Profile As A Visitor" at the top of the page. You shouldn't see any reviews there.
