Authors appreciate the community engagement and the effective promotional strategies that enhance their visibility.

Overall, while the service is well-received for its reliability and quality, attention to reviewer concerns could further enhance customer satisfaction and trust.

Worth the wait
November 29, 2025

An initial reviewer was decidedly the wrong person for my genre, and the work was reassigned, and the outcome was worth the wait. The review was honest and insightful.

An interesting perspective.
November 26, 2025

I very much appreciate the fact that the reviewer was honest with their opinion, resulting in an unbiased review. When I write, however I try to write with the idea that it is my desire for the words to appeal to anyone. That is to Christian people as well as non-Christian people. There have been times in my life that I felt far away from God, if I believed at all during those times, and it is important to me that others feel what I did, for their sakes. Writing this book is my way of helping others to overcome whatever they may be facing.

Very Good Experience
November 8, 2025

I joined as a skeptic, but thought this would give me a push to read books in a relaxing manner as I used to do (instead of my technical information library). I chose a romance/historical fiction book, and read it whenever I had time to sit for a couple hours. I was confused on the website at first, but emails helped me find my way around and enabled me to complete the review. Reviews go through a stringent process, require a lot of work to accomplish, but give a sense of accomplishment when you are done. Highly recommended if you love reading and want to add the satisfaction of your view being recognized!

I was happy to be able to check the status of my review request at any time. I felt like I had a very capable team looking out for my best interests. My review was very professionally written and I felt the reviewer understood what I intended to convey in my book.

I'd like to share a few observations so others can make informed decisions. 1. The site charges $1 for "expedited support," yet despite claiming millions of members, only FEW hundred use that option. This raises fair questions about the platform's transparency and real engagement. Something both Author and Reviewer should keep in mind. 2. Many users have reported delayed or missing payments, often linked to sudden problems that tend to appear when payouts are due. Especially LARGE payouts. If you don't believe this, look at Reddit. 3. Although it presents itself as a large, supportive book community, several members have said it's difficult to get real help unless they pay for faster service. 4. Critical or honest feedback doesn't seem particularly welcome, which may explain why so much public praise contrasts with what's being shared on independent forums. If you've had experiences that seem misleading or unfair, you can report them through verified consumer channels like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or similar accountability platforms. Doing so helps promote transparency and ensures companies are held to reasonable standards.
In short, take time to research before investing your effort or money. A platform built on genuine trust should never shy away from accountability.

Reviews of My Discovery of America
October 25, 2025

The experience was good, except for the detail that, even when the book is also in Spanish in Amazon, I didn't found a way to add the Amazon link for the Spanish edition.

They want you to purchase a book, and they almost never pay you for it. Their "editors" will find anything to give a low enough score so they don't have to pay you. The guidelines are very strict, and you will put in a ton of hours and effort for a few dollars if you're lucky, but most likely you will not ever see any money from this. It is exploitive and should be shut down immediately. Also, the books they want you to read are GARBAGE. Written by weird old people who have no experience or any business writing books, and are paying this website to basically market for them and force people to buy their books. Do not waste your time.

Great Experience!
October 4, 2025

My book "Washing The Inside Of The Cup: My journey of walking in the Spirit" was book of the day on 09/17/2025. I received way more reviews than I was expecting which was very exciting to see/read. I would recommend Online Book Clubs book of the day for anyone wanting to promote their book.

I have so much trouble with facebook/ instagram/ x... posting anything. Nisha was great and never gave up on me until my accounts were found and I was able to post my reviews of OLBC and my experience with them. Rarely do I receive such appreciated attention.

It takes 1 Review to Get More!
September 22, 2025

If you are an author like me and are too embarrased to ask friends or family to leave a review on your book, online book club offers review packages. A gifted reader will critique your book. Be prepared to be open minded! The truth can hurt but guide you in the right direction.

An Island Long Ago

An Island Long Ago was promoted as Book of the Day. I recommend heartedly because their support team was quick to respond to any questions I had, and seemed genuinely vested in my success. Thank you, Sarah.

Well pleased with responses. Little disappointed in the time it takes to get a review. Thus, the 4 Star rating, rather than the 5 Star rating. Please get the review done. You will not be disappointed. Thanks.
