BookBub

As an author of forty years (trad, small press and indie, and ironically with the nickname Bub!) I think they're just a money-grabbing faceless corporation. I would like to know why I've always been knocked back by them and the last submission I made I temporarily lost my head when considering paying them to advertise a book I made free just for the purpose! This has to be total madness. Perhaps I've dodged a bullet. OK, it was a bit more affordable trying the international route (UK and Canada) and they won't accept everybody but to add insult to injury they cba communicating. A good company will communicate and seek to reach out to the customers it makes money from. Boycott them, authors and readers alike. They only care about exploiting authors. Look for your offers elsewhere. There are plenty of other decent and less exploitative sites out there.

Goodreads is way better BookBub makes money on VERY EXPENSIVE ADS
REALLY EXPENSIVE. NOT SUPPORTIVE OF AUTHORS AT ALL..

Heavy focus on books that are unhealthy for family life. Looked around for a while but it is not the focus I am interested in, nor recommend to anyone else who is interested in healthy relationships.

Does not deliver what it claims, very expensive and costly.

BookBub is a glittery scam and they take advantage of struggling authors. Certainly not worth the money

Avoid.

Read reviews of site - the authentic ones are not good. The ones praising it sure have the feel of being fake - there are sites where you can get paid for writing good reviews for a company! You google and see what you think. After I left the site and was doing something else, I get a popup asking me if I needed help or if i wanted to write a review. I had not left my name, email or anything else (except I presume cookies) at the site.

I have ordered several books from this site, some paid for and others free, It seems that the individuals who rate the books as good must be getting paid to do so, or have questionable reading skills. All of the books listed, on the emails that I receive seem to be subpar: I don't think that most of these books would ever get published through a known Publisher,
I have not been able to finish any of the books that I have ordered, because of poor writing and extensive grammatical errors.
I am a reading junkie, and it has to be very bad for me not to finish.
Thank you,

Through iTunes I ordered books for 0,99. Hence my surprise when my credicard showed an amount of 3,99! When I filed a complaint with iTunes they asked me to prove that the book indeed did cost 0,99 and not 3.99. This looks like a way to enrich themselves!

I ordered my 'free' books through Amazon after receiving emails from BookBub. When I got my credit card statement I find not one of the 8 books was free, I was charged a minimum of $3.99. Ripped off!

I get an email everyday from BookBub. I have been very pleased with the free books that I select until I selected Shooter written by Dahlia West. The first part of the book was very good and then the rest of the book was filled with sex which I considered pornography. As soon as I got to that part of the book I quit reading the story. It would have been a good book if the author had left the pornography out. I called Nook and they deleted that book from my Nook. I would not want anyone to think I read such trash. Why do some writers think that they have to write trash to get people read their books?
