So happy with my experience!
December 6, 2024

I am very new to the publishing world and can only give 5 stars plus to the professionalism of the Online Book Club. I have had three books submitted for advice and reviews plus recently one that was picked for the Book of the Day. I am very satisfied with the promptness of feedback, emails when I had questions plus the overall experience ( and excitement) of being book of the day!

Everyone working at the OnlineBookClub.org is exceptional. I've corresponded with people in leadership and support positions and each person, without exception, expressed a willingness to help promote my books. From the awesome social media videos to the company's fair pricing, I find OBC to be one of the finest book marketing options available to authors.

My experience with OBC has been one growing and growing surprise. AS very positive surprise. I started thinking "a review, a lot of money". That it would result in a review with 5 stars was unbelievable. And now the BOTD! It was fun to design for my social media every day a new advert, advised by Sarah c.s. And the fan mail! A new experience for me. The number is now fast growing direction 200, among them a few on basis of reading the whole book already! They all get an individual answer. Not a single negative tone. It surprises me that I'm obviously able to write a good book. I was excellent in news reporting for the newspapers I used to work for. My weakness was the nice interview or bigger article. And now this... The book "World Cruise by Whale", the review by Abraham Ozo, the guidance by Sarah and her team might change my career as an author. Thjank you, people at OnlineBookClub!

Online Book Club is a frustrating platform for professional writers. Genuine reviewers who spend days reading and crafting thoughtful reviews are unfairly penalized. If you use grammar tools like Grammarly, they label it "AI-written" and block your account. Avoiding grammar checkers also risks getting flagged for "too many mistakes." This platform seems to favor AI users, who often bypass these barriers and cash out, facing no real consequences when blocked. After spending three months writing reviews, they wrongly marked one of mine as AI-written, ignored my appeal, and blocked me. Serious writers, steer clear—it's a scam!

Very, very professionally run company!
November 12, 2024

When you pour your heart and soul into writing a book, you hope that you're able to convey your message clearly and succinctly. The reviewer at OnlineBook Club.org delved into my writing full throttle. I KNOW he really read my words and "got it." In fact, he caught a few typos/errors that my highly paid editors missed! WOW!
There's a checks-and-balances system incorporated wherein the reviewer has to write "blurbs" which are provided to the author for authentication. Brilliant idea! I paid for for Clarion and Kirkus reviews which were in my opinion garbage... nitpicking. This company really delivers the goods in a proper manner with emphasis on the things that really matter, and the potential readers benefit directly.

A really positive experience.
November 10, 2024

I was nervous going into this and didn't know what to expect but have been very pleased so far. I had a one month turnaround for the review on my book, I was happy with the review and will definitely be doing this again. Also, Online bookclub communicated every step of the way, which was so appreciated!

Reviewer's review of Asayi
November 9, 2024

Some quality control issues: "Saron" should be Sharon. Reviewer called the main character a "dumb teenage lady." End of first sentence is unfinished. Line six should read "her father." Would appreciate it if you could fix these errors. And thank you for your review. You were very specific and detailed in your comments and that is always good feedback for a writer.

RE: Review ID 76156

Hi, Sharon,

I think you meant to send this as a message to a reviewer of your book, not as a rating of OnlineBookClub.org.

However, if there is any concern about OnlineBookClub.org that would cause you to rate us 4/5 instead of a perfect 5/5, please do let me know. You can email me anytime at:

trustandsafety@onlinebookclub.org

Thank you,
Scott

Review of Four Days
November 3, 2024

I have been on pins and needles waiting for a review of my book. It has been a lifelong dream to write a novel, and starting with this one was extra special. Today when I opened the review...tears sprung to my eyes. I honestly could not believe it. Thank you for giving me and this special story a lift! The review was detailed, without giving away the rest of the story. Reviewer did an excellent job. Overall experience with online book club is 5 out of 5 stars because they are helping me reach the stars!

Inspiring and genuine
October 29, 2024

My debut book has just received its first ever review, and although it only earned 2 out of 5 stars, I am immensely grateful. The book was originally written in Italian, and I then translated it myself into English. Regrettably, there were some formatting errors in the writing that I overlooked due to my impatience.
As a professional photographer, this was my very first foray into writing, and I am incredibly proud of this accomplishment. Regardless of the review, this book represents a piece of my soul, and the mere fact that someone took the time to read it is a triumph for me. While the critical reception may not have been glowing, the experience of bringing this literary work to life has been a profound personal achievement. Even a modest review cannot diminish the sense of pride and fulfillment I feel in having completed this project. It is a significant milestone, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my creative vision with readers. Eagerly anticipating the day when I can pen the next chapter of Luna's tale, chronicling the captivating journey through her formative years.

Thorough Review
October 21, 2024

I wasn't sure what to expect from this review of Excavating Fate, but I liked how this site ensured the reviewer had read the book by requesting their synopsis of the story. I also appreciated how the reviewer gave their honest feedback about how the story affected them as they read. This has helped me adjust some of the prose accordingly before the book launch in 2025. I'm very satisfied with the process and plan to request more reviews as the time for my book launch grows nearer.

My experience was FANTASTIC! I received so many positive reviews about my book, Europe on a G-String and I couldn't be happier.

Scott, Sarah and the team at onlinebookclub.org are brilliant and extremely helpful. I can only give them a five out of five star rating!

I am so happy with the outcome and so glad that I did the Book of the Day Promotion with them.

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE :) :) :)
